Our Story
RAISING INTEREST IN SU***DE EDUCATION PROGRAM
The Wichita and Affiliated Tribes provide youth su***de prevention services to Wichita tribal members, all American Indian youth, and all community-residing youth ages 10-24 years old in Caddo, Blaine, Canadian, Custer, Grady, and Wash*ta counties. Our primary purpose is to strengthen individuals and communities in order to prevent su***de.
Our program goals are:
• Goal 1: Increase awareness and understanding of su***de.
• Goal 2: Engage the Tribal community and partnering entities through coalition development, training, and outreach.
• Goal 3: Develop the workforce through trainings to ensure effective assessment and treatment of youth at risk of su***de.
• Goal 4: Implement community-based surveillance to identify at-risk youth and connect youth with services.
• Goal 5: Ensure effective treatment and coordination of care through case management and follow up services.
• Goal 6: Conduct quality improvement on prevention and response to su***de attempts and completions.
Please feel welcomed and invited to call or visit our office.
