Methamphetamine and Suicide Prevention Initiative - Generation Indigenous (Gen-I) Initiavite Support
The primary purpose of this Indian Health Service (IHS) grant is to focus on MSPI goal #6, "to promote positive American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth development and family engagement through the implementation of early intervention strategies to reduce risk factors for suicidal behavior and substance
use." Grants will be awarded in three IHS Areas:
Navajo Area, Phoenix Area, and the Tucson Area.
