Young Inupiat people in Maniilaq's service area are suffering disproportionately from suicide. In fact, the region has one of the highest youth suicide rates in the world. The project will use a variety of prevention approaches. It will include a media campaign to underscore the fact that suicide is preventable and unacceptable within an Inupiat context. A cultural renewal film project will enhance cultural continuity and increase youth resilience- two factors that have been linked to lower suicide rates. The educational components of Project Life include school and community based suicide prevention training so that community members of all ages are knowledgeable about Inupiat suicide and know how they can work to prevent it. Lastly, the project will work with area institutions to develop suicide prevention protocols so that staff who work with high risk populations know how to intervene before and during a suicide crisis. This comprehensive approach will increase community level protective factors and decrease risk factors. In addition, the approach foster earlier involvement with high-risk youth, make suicide interventions more effective and efficient, and will institute postvention rituals and policies. Taken together, Project Life aims to decrease the number of suicides and suicides in the region for the long term.

Cook Inlet Tribal Council, Inc. (CITC) proposes a program to expand and enhance outpatient substance abuse treatment capacity for Alaska Native/American Indians adults in Anchorage, Alaska. CITC's proposed Clare Swan Co-Ed Outpatient Treatment Expansion project will provide a comprehensive, integrated, and community-based response to the well- documented need for expanded and enhanced treatment for our Native community. The Clare Swan Expansion will serve Alaska Native/American Indian adults residing in or accessing treatment in Anchorage, Alaska. CITC's Clare Swan outpatient unit provides the only Tribal co-ed outpatient services in Anchorage, and is uniquely positioned to provide culturally competent services to the population of Alaska Native who are disproportionately represented in substance abuse statistics locally, statewide, and nationally. Clare Swan is proposing to treat ASAM levels .5 through Level II, ranging from problem drinkers who are not yet clinically dependent through those who are stepping-down from residential treatment. Our strategies and interventions include doubling capacity for outpatient treatment, continuing use of motivational interviewing, as well as adding brief therapy to the continuum of outpatient services. These evidenced-based strategies have proven to be culturally resonant, and therefore effective, with our target population. The following objectives will be achieved: provision of outpatient treatment services to 160 unduplicated clients annually; reduction in alcohol or other illegal drugs; increased stability in family and living condition; improvement in employment status; increased social connectedness to family, friends, coworkers and classmates; increased access to services; improved retention in treatment; and reduction in crime and criminal justice status.

Tanana Chiefs Conference, a regional private, non-profit corporation operating under Tribal Authority for the Alaska natives of the Interior region, proposes to expand its Old Minto Family Recovery Camp, adding three residential slots (serving an additional 30 persons per year, 90 throughout the 3 year grant period), while enhancing the overall treatment program. A "cultural healing model" of recovery guides treatment. Tanana Chiefs Conference, Inc (TCC) proposes to expand the treatment capacity of its core residential service unit, the Old Minto Family Recovery Camp, while adapting the current program to better meet the needs of its patients. Old Minto Family Recovery Camp is the originator of a cultural treatment model which has gained recognition by the State of Alaska and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for its promising outcomes with Native clientele. The Old Minto Family Recovery Camp provides a traditional village environment, grounded in the understanding that substance abuse treatment for Alaska Natives is best addressed within the context of a traditional community system. The camp's "cultural healing" model of recovery blends traditional life ways and cultural skills with the western counseling techniques, concepts and requirements for certification of substance abuse treatment programs. Expansion of the Old Minto Family Recovery Camp will fill a critical service gap in one of the most underserved and socially devastated areas of Alaska. We will be able to serve an additional 3 persons per cycle/30 per year, while 120 (90 original and 30 expanded) receive enhanced services. The project has the potential to impact the way services are delivered to Alaska Native people statewide, thereby improving the quality of services and expanding the knowledge base.
