Project Purpose:
The purpose of the program is to 1) stabilize crisis situations for youth and families served; 2) improve access to formal mental health treatment services and diagnostic assessments; 3) improve access to chemical health assessments that can result in treatment services; 4) improve family relationships and family communication for youth and families receiving counseling; and 5) increase youth and family use of other health care services and community resources.

Project Service Area:
Native youth and families served will be those living on the Leech Lake and Red Lake Reservations in northern Minnesota (both are federally-recognized tribes) as well as Native Americans living in Bemidji, MN.  Both reservations are designated Medically Underserved Areas and their populations are designated Medically Underserved Populations.  The two reservations are also designated Health Professional Shortage Areas.
