Abstract:

I am writing to provide updates on several important Indian Health Service (IHS) behavioral health initiatives. This letter outlines the updates by providing background on how IHS formerly delivered services for the Indian Children's Program (ICP), Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), and continuing education for behavioral health providers, as well as providing information on how IHS is currently delivering services for those areas. I am also providing information on our partnership with the National Indian Health Board (NIHB) to offer a premier national behavioral health conference.
