This grant is for enhancing aftercare support for American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth transitioning from Youth Regional Treatment Centers (YRTCs). Its primary purpose is to help these youth achieve and maintain safety, sobriety, and employability upon release. The program aims to empower YRTCs to lead the development of effective aftercare methods, especially where local support services are lacking. A key focus is to identify and address management and performance barriers that hinder YRTC and Indian Health Service (IHS) capacity to deliver responsive solutions. This initiative seeks to improve the AI/AN Youth Continuum of Care, ensuring comprehensive behavioral health treatment and sustained well-being for youth.

| Description: |
The goal of the Youth Aftercare cooperative agreement is to help AI/AN youth pursue and sustain safety, sobriety, and employability after release from a Youth Regional Treatment Center (YRTC). While aftercare support services may not exist in a youth’s home community, the YRTC can lead the development of effective aftercare methods. The YRTC Aftercare cooperative agreement awardee (“awardee”) will pursue the above stated goal in each American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) client who separates from their respective YRTCs. In addition to the stated goal, a focus of this funding opportunity is to understand and overcome aftercare management and performance barriers that affect the capacity of YRTCs and the IHS to develop effective and responsive solutions within the scope of the AI/AN Youth Continuum of Care (CoC), given AI/AN youth’s behavioral health treatment requirements. |
