On January 24, 2008, please join the Indian Health Service (IHS) for our Sixth quarterly teleconference/WebEx Open Door Forum. This Forum will focus on the Behavioral Health Initiative and methamphetamine reduction. Acting IHS Director, Robert McSwain will provide an update on the Behavioral Health Initiative. Three programs will share their methamphetamine programs including the Special Clinic for Women at the Phoenix Indian Medical Center, the Matrix Model Treatment at the Colorado River Indian Tribes, and the Montana Wyoming Tribal Leaders Council. Dr. Susan Dreisbach, University of Colorado, will present “Meth and Rural Communities and Heather Dawn Thompson will discuss the National Congress of American Indians “Meth Tool kit.”

PowerPoint presentations will be available on the Director’s Health Initiatives website approximately two weeks prior to the teleconference – please download the presentations so you can follow along during the teleconference. There will be time for dialogue at the end of the presentations. A survey monkey will also be available for feedback after the Forum. Following the call, a transcript will be available at the Directors’ Initiatives website for those who miss this event.

After the call, the transcripts and web-ex recordings of previous Open Door Forums will be available under “What’s New” of the Director’s Initiatives website. CEUs are a new feature of our fifth Open Door Forum and will be available for physicians and nurses. We will add other disciplines if interest supports this option for future forums. CEUs can be obtained by following the link located on the Survey Monkey
