SIHC's GLS Program - Southern Indian Health Council (SIHC) GLS Program will provide equity-based programming, focused on early intervention and continuity of care of health services to anyone who seeks assistance at SIHC Health Center, and/or its affiliate locations.

GLS funding will provide an avenue for SIHC to become a ZERO SUICIDE agency by implementing the ZERO SUICIDE framework, adapted for use with Native communities, throughout SIHC organization, with individuals served, and the wider community.

Current and future programming of SIHC is designed to address the circumstances of the most disadvantaged and vulnerable; that population is specifically Native youth (ages 0-25).

Based on previous engagement numbers, SIHC behavioral health services are expected to serve N=8,500 youth (aged 0-25) in one or more of the proposed activities (including but not limited to individual therapeutic sessions, group therapy, youth-led ZERO SUICIDE team, suicide awareness campaigns via social media through digital storytelling, expressive arts therapy activities, and other ceremonial activities as determined) over the five years of funding; with an average of N=2,000 youth to be served each year.

Further, the wider Kumeyaay community of 1,594 tribal consortium members and 20,000 San Diego County residents, who have traditionally access one or more services, (SIHC provides services to Native and non-Native individuals who come from a range of demographic and socioeconomic backgrounds throughout San Diego County) will also be impacted by the GLS funding as ZERO SUICIDE programmatic activities extend to community through events, such as suicide walks, grief and trauma process groups, ceremonial events, and others.

If funded, and with tribal council approval, SIHC agrees to allow our project to be used in publications, reports to Congress, or press releases.
