13 Indian Health Service Division of Behavioral Health Overview: Convergent Service Approach

14 Of Theories, Maps, and Compasses How we understand something depends, in no small measure, on our worldview: where we are from what we have learned what our life experiences have been what we hold to be true and of great value

21 INTEGRATION NOT SEGREGATION If you do not touch the heart, you will never heal the soul...

23 INTEGRATION NOT SEGREGATION The spirit must be healed as well as the mind.

25 U.S. Senate: First Session of the 52 nd Congress, Congressional Serial Set Ziewie Davis No 2 F Very bright girl eldest daughter of an ambitious father who made a great effort to have things as she had learned to want them. He owned a small store and wishing to be very civilized had his name translated into English (Don t Know How) and printed on his sign DK How. Ziewie was his clerk and bookkeeper for about a year but unexpectedly developed consumption and died in a few months. Her influence was such that her sister and cousins were at once sent off to school

26 Western Understanding, Traditional Understanding I would sit right in front of the examining table and then people would just come and drop by and talk to me. But what they wanted to talk about was dreams Eduardo Duran, Ph.D Advances in Indian Health Conference DHHS Indian Health Service

27 WESTERN DATA AS UNIVERSAL REALITY For generations, Native Peoples have been objects of study, financial gain, or publishing potential, more victimized than helped by data and data based inquiry. Such inquiry is performed almost exclusively by researchers from worlds Native Peoples do not understand; nor do the researchers, in turn, really understand their Native subjects. They just believe they do because they have numbers that say so. Jon Perez, Ph.D. Director of Behavioral Health, IHS NIMH Conference on Collaborative Research 2004

28 FOCUS ON FUNDING AND DATA Knowledge without application is meaningless

29 OF CIRCLES AND P Circle of Traditions p

30 OF CIRCLES AND P Areas of convergence between theory and practice traditional and non-traditional experimental and time honored The area between the circles that take the best from both worlds to serve the people who live in both worlds.

31 CONVERGENT SERVICES Integrate: Heart, Mind, Body, Spirit Professions, approaches, worldviews Mobilize: Understanding and action A person s strengths A family s and community s strengths Sustain: the changes when they are still new and tenuous Habituate: Make a new home

32 CONVERGENT PRACTICES ARE CHARACTERIZED BY Problem focus not discipline focus Mutual respect for divergent worldviews, training and approaches--windows to understanding, allies in the fight Using Strengths to fight Problems Bringing many weapons to bear on problems Including individual, family, and community. Being sustainable Integrated evaluation of the programs themselves

33 CONVERGENT SERVICES Technology is a tool not a cultural value Information is power It will be a central weapon to support your programs and services Use it to support your people and programs Passivity or rejection of it will equal programmatic demise

34

35 Tribal Behavioral Health Agenda 35 Collaboration Cooperation Engagement

36 The Power of the TBHA Based on tribal voices and priorities Opportunity to shape policies and programs Supports wisdom of cultural/traditional practices alongside Western approaches Garners appropriate attention to priorities that address outstanding challenges mobilizes collaborators to act together Uses existing platforms (i.e., strategic plans, etc.) to work differently

37 What the TBHA is A document that provides a clear, national statement about the extent and need for prioritizing behavioral health problems A tool for improving collaboration on common issues across different entities/sectors A blueprint that harmonizes efforts and creates a unified approach for funding, programs, and policy activities no single entity changes outcomes alone 37

38 What the TBHA is Not 38 Not a silver bullet will not fix problems, compounded over decades, overnight Not a strategic plan nor a replacement for existing strategic plans (existing plans have a purpose and legal and/or policy directives) Not a list of prescribed actions that tribal, federal, state, and local governments or other stakeholders must take

54 Prescription Opioids and Heroin: Public Health Challenge 54 In 2014, 1.9 million people had a prescription opioid use disorder and nearly 600,000 had a heroin use disorder. The national data on overdose deaths are startling: in 2014, there were 28,647 overdose deaths involving prescription opioid medications and/or heroin. That is equivalent to an average of one death every 18 minutes.

66 Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) 66 SBIRT is a comprehensive, integrated, public health approach to the delivery of early intervention and treatment services for persons with substance use disorders, as well as those who are at risk of developing these disorders. Primary care centers, hospital emergency rooms, trauma centers, and other community settings provide opportunities for early intervention with at-risk substance users before more severe consequences occur. Screening quickly assesses the severity of substance use and identifies the appropriate level of treatment. Brief intervention focuses on increasing insight and awareness regarding substance use and motivation toward behavioral change. Referral to treatment provides those identified as needing more extensive treatment with access to specialty care.

67 Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs) 67 Many states established PDMPs to reduce prescription drug abuse and diversion. Statewide electronic databases: Collect prescription records for all outpatient controlled substance prescriptions dispensed in the state Distribute patient health information from the database to individuals authorized under state law.

68 Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs 68 Depending on state law: Prescribers Pharmacists Pharmacies Law Enforcement Licensing Boards Patients Others (delegate accounts allow nurses, licensed social workers to access)
