  3. Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community • Established through Executive Order in 1879 by President Rutherford B. Hayes • Pima and Maricopa • Approximately 56,000 acres surrounded by the cities of Mesa, Tempe, Scottsdale, Fountain Hills • Total tribal enrollment is 8,893 of which 3,477 are age 17 and younger

  4. The average age of death for men is 43.27 years and for women it’s 49.41.

  5. OUR EXPERIENCE • Within SRPMIC meth misuse is the third top substance misused along with cocaine. • Alcohol remains the number 1 substance misused, followed by marijuana. • The majority (85%) of individuals misusing any substance appear to be using a number of substance together (poly-substance misuse) rather than a single use of a substance.

  9. BARRIERS • Local Treatment • Access to Services • Lack of Communication • Lack of Collaboration • Funding Source requirements are sometimes to rigorous • Personnel – grant and non-grant • Silo approach

  10. WOULDN’T IT BE WONDERFUL IF: • Funding encouraged increased collaboration • Issues of FASD were wrapped into other substance abuse/mental health initiatives • On-going formal and informal communication between partners at the State, County, and tribal level • Training example

  11. SUMMARY • In Indian Country we are dealing with a young population which is exposed to more trauma, in their young lives and potentially face death before they become adults. • The significance of providing FASD services is critical and essential to the lives of our American population. • Therefore, funds, recognition of tribal autorities and coordination between state and tribe to provide these services must be accessed. Dollars must be made available to tribes.
