AMERICAN INDIAN CENTER OF ARKANSAS EDUCATION PROGRAM

AMERICAN INDIAN CENTER OF ARKANSAS 988 TRIBAL RESPONSE PROGRAM - THE AMERICAN INDIAN CENTER OF ARKANSAS (AICA) IS SEEKING FUNDING UNDER SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH ADMINISTRATION (SAMHSA) FY2023 SUPPORT FOR 988 TRIBAL RESPONSE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS. AICA IS A NON-PROFIT URBAN INDIAN ORGANIZATION BASED IN LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS AND SERVES NATIVE AMERICANS IN ARKANSAS. FOR THIS PROJECT, AICA WILL HAVE ONE KEY PARTNER THAT WILL SERVE AS A SUB-GRANTEE: INTER-TRIBAL COUNCIL OF LOUISIANA (ITCLA). THROUGH THESE KEY PARTNERSHIPS, AICA CATCHMENT AREA WILL INCLUDE ARKANSAS, LOUISIANA, AND POLK COUNTY IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, THE NEED FOR IMPROVED SERVICES FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND SUICIDE PREVENTION HAS BECOME A TOP PRIORITY FOR TRIBAL COMMUNITIES IN OUR CATCHMENT AREA DUE TO THE EXTREMELY HIGH SUICIDE RATES IN OUR STATE. IN ARKANSAS, THE 2022 SUICIDE RATE WAS 20.6 INDIVIDUALS PER 100,000 INDIVIDUALS AND 15.26 INDIVIDUALS PER 100,000 INDIVIDUALS IN LOUISIANA VERSUS 14.21 PER 100,000 INDIVIDUALS NATIONALLY (CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL). WITH A SUICIDE RATE 30% HIGHER THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE, SUICIDE IS THE SECOND-LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR AGES 10-34, THE FOURTH LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR AGES 35-44, AND THE FIFTH LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR AGES 45-55 IN ARKANSAS. (CDC WONDER ONLINE DATABASE, UNDERLYING CAUSE OF DEATH, MULTIPLE CAUSE OF DEATH AND CDC 2021 FATAL INJURY REPORT). MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS HAVE PROVEN TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE AMONG TRIBAL MEMBERS IN OUR AREA. GOAL 1. INCREASE THE NUMBER OF 988 EMERGENCY STAFF THAT ARE TRAINED IN PROVIDING CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO NATIVE AMERICANS IN ARKANSAS, LOUISIANA, AND POLK COUNTY. GOAL 2. IMPROVE THE INTEGRATION OF 988 CRISIS CENTERS WITH TRIBAL ORGANIZATIONS AND TRIBAL TREATMENT PROVIDERS IN THE CATCHMENT AREA TO ASSIST TRIBAL MEMBERS IN NAVIGATING MENTAL/BEHAVIORAL HEALTH RESOURCES TO ENSURE COMPREHENSIVE WRAP-AROUND CARE INCLUDING CASE MANAGEMENT AND FOLLOW-UP CARE. GOAL 3. DEVELOP FORMAL PARTNERSHIPS, THAT ALIGN WITH TRIBAL SOVEREIGNTY, WITH KEY STAKEHOLDERS INCLUDING TRIBAL SERVICE PROVIDERS, LOCAL NON-TRIBAL SERVICE PROVIDERS, STATE AGENCIES, LOCAL AGENCIES, AND FIRST RESPONDERS THAT WILL RESULT IN IMPROVED ACCESS AND TREATMENT FOR TRIBAL MEMBERS WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND/OR CO-OCCURRING MENTAL HEALTH/SUBSTANCE ABUSE ISSUES INCLUDING THOSE AT RISK OF SUICIDE.

THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC HAS FURTHER EXACERBATED THE CRISIS, PARTICULARLY AMONG NATIVE AMERICAN AND ALASKA NATIVE POPULATIONS. ARKANSAS HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED BY THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC, WITH A HIGH OPIOID DISPENSING RATE PER 100 PEOPLE IN 2020 (82.59) COMPARED TO THE NATIONAL AVERAGE (43.3). IN ADDITION, SEVERAL COUNTIES IN ARKANSAS HAD HIGH OPIOID DISPENSING RATES IN 2020, INCLUDING CRAWFORD, MONTGOMERY, AND OUACHITA. STRATEGIES/INTERVENTIONS: THE AMERICAN INDIAN CENTER OF ARKANSAS (AICA) SEEKS FUNDING TO EXPAND AND ENHANCE ACCESS TO MOUD FOR NATIVE AMERICAN AND NON-NATIVE AMERICAN INDIVIDUALS IN ARKANSAS. AICA WILL PROVIDE RESOURCES FOR MAT PROGRAMS, MENTORING, AND JOB OPPORTUNITIES TO DECREASE ILLICIT OPIOID USE AND PRESCRIPTION OPIOID MISUSE. THE PROJECT WILL INVOLVE OUTREACH AND EDUCATION EFFORTS TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF MOUD RESOURCES AND TREATMENT OPTIONS. GOALS AND MEASURABLE OBJECTIVES: THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DECREASE OPIOID USE AND OPIOID-RELATED DEATHS AMONG NATIVE AMERICAN AND NON-NATIVE AMERICAN INDIVIDUALS IN ARKANSAS BY EXPANDING ACCESS TO MOUD RESOURCES. THE PROJECT AIMS TO SERVE A TOTAL OF 100 PEOPLE ANNUALLY AND 675 PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE LIFETIME OF THE PROJECT.

IMPACT: EXPANDING ACCESS TO MOUD RESOURCES IN ARKANSAS WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF NATIVE AMERICAN AND NON-NATIVE AMERICAN INDIVIDUALS AFFECTED BY THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC. THE PROJECT WILL PROVIDE CRUCIAL RESOURCES FOR MAT PROGRAMS, MENTORING, HOUSING, AND JOB OPPORTUNITIES TO DECREASE ILLICIT OPIOID USE AND PRESCRIPTION OPIOID MISUSE.
