Summary of Request:
The Native Warmline Innovation project is a community-driven Initiative to provide culturally sensitive services to the Native community in Mendocino County. This project is striving to provide low-barrier services to Natives who have nearly three times the risk for death by suicide than the average Californian. Despite the high risk for substance use and suicide in Mendocino County, Natives from Mendocino County do not seek prevention services. The Native Warmline aims to provide a low-barrier line staffed with peers who have lived experience in our Native communities in Mendocino County, offering up-to-date referral and linkage services, triage, and peer-to-peer support.
We aim to learn how to best serve those most at risk in Native Communities to create a Tip Sheet that the Native Warmline can share with other counties, as well as providers of Mental Health Services in Mendocino County, to increase cultural sensitivity in service delivery. Additionally, the Native Warmline will offer culturally appropriate services, as well as triage for Native individuals in crisis, to help them receive the care they need while addressing their specific needs as members of a Native community.
Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) submitted the Behavioral Health Advisory Board approved project, titled Native Crisis Line- A partnership between Pinoleville Pomo Nation and Mendocino County BHRS to the Mental Health Services Oversight & Accountability Commission (MHSOAC) on April 1, 2024. MHSOAC approved use of funds for the Native Crisis Line Innovation Project for Mendocino County on May 23, 2024.
