SAMHSA, the Office of Minority Health and the Indian Health Service (through the US Department of Health and Human Services) will join a multi-agency federal partnership to conduct Session 2 of 3 Tribal Consultation, Training and Technical Assistance sessions to occur in 2008. Session 2 will address a number of challenges and issues facing tribal communities such as increased access to resources; health strategies and crime prevention; intervention and interdiction strategies; as well as treatment and detention needs for community based solutions and inter-jurisdictional cooperation.
