Congratulations to CCUIH member Fresno American Indian Health Project and Tule River Tribe on receiving the SAMHSA System of Care grant! The grant will allow Tule River and FAIHP to implement a trauma-informed comprehensive and holistic system of care for American Indian youth and families in the San Joaquin Valley, California. It will increase the availability of direct mental health and substance abuse services available for American Indian and Alaska Native people in the region and provide greater outreach and prevention services to reduce the stigma that surrounds mental health care, as well as promote information about the importance of accessing services. The service system will integrate traditional health practices and cultural services as well as a culture-based wraparound approach for working with youth and families in need. We look forward to your outstanding work!
