Formerly known as the Raising Interest in Suicide Education (RISE) program, the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes 988 Tribal Response program strives to increase access to mental health services for Native Americans through the 988 Mental Health Lifeline. Wichita and Affiliated Tribes 988 Tribal Response Program (Former names: Tribal Youth Surveillance Prevention program and later rebranded as the RISE program)

The 988 Tribal Response (988TR) program is a federally-funded grant administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The purpose of our program is to provide resources to improve response to 988 contacts (including calls, chats, and texts) from tribal communities and/or American Indian/Alaska Native callers. Our program can help coordinate/facilitate a variety of mental health and suicide prevention/intervention trainings, educate community members, mental health professionals, and first responders on what the 988 process looks like, and provide case management, professional therapy, and peer recovery support services for 988 callers. Native licensed professional counselors are on-site and specialize in both youth and adult therapeutic services.. We encourage tribal members looking for resources/support services to call/text 988 and ask for the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes 988 Tribal Response Program.

Did you know that if you are Native and you call the 988 Mental Health Lifeline, you can actually ask to speak with a Native from a 988 Tribal Response program? The Wichita and Affiliated Tribes 988TR covers 10 counties in southwest Oklahoma. Not only can we connect you with tribal and community resources in your area, we can also schedule an appointment with a Native licensed professional counselor.

988 is a 24/7 confidential call/text/chat line. Here are just a few examples of mental health crises in which you or a loved one can reach out to 988: anxiety, depression, alcohol and substance use disorder, domestic violence, and thoughts of su***de.

Our primary purpose is to strengthen individuals and communities in order to prevent su***de. Our program goals are: • Goal 1: Increase awareness and understanding of su***de. • Goal 2: Engage the Tribal community and partnering entities through coalition development, training, and outreach. • Goal 3: Develop the workforce through trainings to ensure effective assessment and treatment of youth at risk of su***de. • Goal 4: Implement community-based surveillance to identify at-risk youth and connect youth with services. • Goal 5: Ensure effective treatment and coordination of care through case management and follow up services. • Goal 6: Conduct quality improvement on prevention and response to su***de attempts and completions. Please feel welcomed and invited to call or visit our office. Our work is free and confidential.

We provide: (a) crisis response for youth at risk of harming themselves (prevention) and communities in need of healing (post-vention); (b) educational outreach to enhance awareness and understanding of self-harming behavior; and (c) community development to build infrastructure and partner coalitions among Tribal and public entities.
