Collaborative Tribal Partnerships for Wellness
Approach
Partnerships for Change
Over 115 people die every day from the opioid epidemic. Communities can’t solve the greatest health crisis of our time alone. The challenge is even more difficult for tribal communities, who often face barriers to care as part of daily life. As a health care ally for tribes, we offer a collaborative approach to healing.
Health Care Resources
Harm Reduction
Wellness Opportunities
A Strategy of Empowerment
Our mission is based on empowering tribes through health care resources and wellness opportunities. Because of our expertise in harm reduction and health care management, we know that smart, compassionate care can kickstart big-picture change for tribal communities.
Crisis
Stopping—and Starting—the Cycle
Our country is facing a fight that we haven’t been able to win. And tribal communities have been hit hard. Our neighborhoods and families are the victims of this crisis–but they are also our secret weapon. Their determination makes a better future possible. We can only fix this together.
We all know that addiction is a cycle. And it’s one we have to break. Science-based medical intervention is one part of that process, and it’s a vital component of our collaborative solution. But it’s not a magic wand.
That is why “Starting the Cycle” is crucial. Like addiction, health is part of a cycle too. We need strong families, behavioral care, outreach programs, and wellness opportunities to create healthy communities. Our work is rooted in that understanding.
