Congressional District: SD-00
FY 2009 Funding: $277,660
Project Period: 09/30/2008 - 09/29/2011
The target population for the Circles of Care project is all youth under the age of 21 living on the Crow Creek Reservation. With this project, the Tribe is attempting to design a holistic mental health service delivery system in which service will be provided to youth and their families in a coordinated manner, instead of the fragmented way it is now. The intent is to develop a system in which each youth's physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs will be addressed through treatment, which will be based on an individual care plan developed for each youth.

Program: Youth Suicide Prevention & Early Intervention - Cooperative Agreement State-Sponsored SM058396
Congressional District: SD-00
FY 2009 Funding: $433,130
Project Period: 09/30/2008 - 09/29/2011
The Crow Creek Sioux Tribe of South Dakota will enhance the Tribe's suicide prevention strategies and meet the objectives of its suicide prevention plan. The focus population is youth aged 13 to 21 living on the Crow Creek Reservation. During the last thirty years, the Crow Creek Tribe has experienced a high suicide rate that has had a devastating and demoralizing impact on the community, leaving service providers almost totally overwhelmed. Buffalo County, in which most of the population of the reservation lives, had a suicide rate of 49.2 per 100,000 population from 1980 to 2001, the highest rate in South Dakota and well over the national figure. By comparison, the state's rate during this period was 13.5 and the national figure was 10.8. Depression, violence, and physical and sexual abuse are far too common and show no signs of abating - the people are in despair. Unfortunately, the Tribe's extreme poverty severely limits its ability to address the situation. The goals and objectives of the project are as follows:
Goal: Promote suicide awareness in the community
Objective 1: Develop a public information campaign to increase public knowledge of suicide prevention
Objective 2: Expand suicide awareness in the school system.
Goal: Develop effective prevention and intervention services
Objective 1: Implement community-based suicide prevention strategies.
Objective 2: Improve services to people who have been affected by suicide.
Goal: Enhance service provider capabilities
Objective 1: Increase collaboration among all local partners involved with suicide-related issues.
Objective 2: Improve local data management techniques.
Objective 3: Increase capabilities of local partners involved in suicide

Project Period: 09/30/2009 - 09/29/2012
South DakotaÂ’s Community Partnership for Suicide Prevention (CPSP) will strengthen the capacity in South Dakota communities and schools to plan, implement, and sustain evidencebased suicide prevention programs that reduce suicide attempts and fatalities. Local community Project Sites will also increase their ability to collect, analyze, and present local suicide related data. Additionally, the project will work with colleges or universities and veteran populations. In an effort to reduce suicide attempts and completions in South Dakota, the CPSP will provide continued growth in the referral and service network between schools, community mental health centers, substance abuse providers, juvenile justice, and child protective services. This system of care will be strengthened through training and technical assistance so that communities can create a safety net for identifying, referring and assisting those at risk for suicide. The CPSP is based on the South Dakota Strategy for Suicide Prevention, a state plan created by a public and private organization partnership, and will target youth and young adults aged 14-24. Specifically, the program will 1) create Local Community Groups (LCG5) that are public-private partnerships focused on suicide prevention; 2) provide trainings and technical assistance to members of each LCG and school staff; 3) provide a student curriculum in schools within Project Site communities; 4) organize a gatekeeper training for community members; 5) develop local suicide prevention policies among multiple agencies and groups within the community including methods and procedures for tracking suicide related data; 6) implement suicide prevention campaigns, 7) provide information to parents, 8) deliver information and trainings that provide attention to the culture of military personnel and their families. The CPSP hopes to reach 2000 youth and over 3000 adults with training, information and education throughout the life of the grant.

Congressional District: SD-00
FY 2009 Funding: $500,000
Project Period: 09/30/2008 - 09/29/2011
The purpose of the Oglala Sioux Tribe (OST) Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention Program is to develop and implement a comprehensive and sustainable program to prevent suicide among Tribal youth, ages 15-24. The approach has been designed to increase community awareness and support, strengthen capacity and resources for early identification of at risk youth, and develop comprehensive and sustainable systems to prevent youth suicide.
The suicide rate for South Dakota young people, ages 15 to 24, is double the average rate in the nation and young American Indian males in South Dakota die from suicide at a rate that is four to five times the national rate. The OST youth suicide program planning group identified several specific areas of need that, together, offer promise for developing a sustainable program for Tribal youth suicide prevention. These include: 1) need for greater community awareness, support, and coordination for youth suicide prevention; 2) need to strengthen capacity and resources for providing screening, early identification, referral, and follow-up of at-risk youth; and 3) need for comprehensive and sustainable systems for meeting the needs of young people at-risk for suicide, including systems to increase cultural competency of professionals that work with OST youth and families. The OST Program has four primary goals: Goal 1: Increase community awareness, support, and coordination for Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention; Goal 2: Strengthen capacity and resources for providing screening, early identification, referral, and followup of at-risk youth; Goal 3: Reduce the number of OST youth, ages 14-24, who attempt or complete suicide; and Goal 4: Contribute to local, regional, and national knowledge and effective strategies for Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention.

Congressional District: SD-00
FY 2009 Funding: $399,400
Project Period: 09/30/2005 - 09/29/2011
The Yankton Sioux Tribe is seeking Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) assistance to develop and implement a system of care for all youth living within the historic boundary of the Yankton Sioux Reservation. The program will be operated under the Behavioral Health Department of the Indian Health Services clinic in Wagner, South Dakota. A holistic system of care will be established that will focus on the youths' physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Although the program will be targeted at Native Americans, all persons under the age of 21, regardless of race, will be eligible to receive services under the program. Funding will be used to:

o Provide mental health service to reservation youth with a serious emotional disturbance and their families.
o Provide training to the caregivers who will provide the mental health service to the youth and their families.
o Hire a psychiatrist and a clinical psychologist on a contract basis to provide professional mental health treatment to the youth.

The Yankton Sioux Tribe anticipates that this initiative will serve approximately 100 youth and their families annually in system of care service. The service will be comprehensive, holistic, and intensive. The program is much needed because there are no mental health services available on the reservation for youth with a serious emotional disturbance.
