Thank you for you time and information!! Methodology Researchers utilized the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration databases, including the Mental Health Services Locator1 and Substance Abuse Treatment Facility Locator.2 Data on NARBHA agencies were collected from the NARBHA website’s3 descriptions of service area agencies. Indian Health Service agencies were identified and described after consulting the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Indian Health Service, Phoenix Area4 and Navajo Area5 websites. Websites maintained by individual provider agencies were also consulted. If information available on the websites was incomplete, researchers attempted to contact the agencies or locate information from alternate sources.

It should be noted, however, that the information provided in this report is the most current information available to the research team as of June 2007. 1 http://www.mentalhealth.org/databases 2 http://dasis3.samhsa.gov/ 3 https://www.narbha.org/NARBHACD/CDEngine.aspx?loc=4,64 4 http://www.ihs.gov/FacilitiesServices/AreaOffices/Phoenix/Index.cfm 5 http://www.ihs.gov/FacilitiesServices/AreaOffices/Navajo/ Map of Responsible Agencies and Northern Arizona Tribes Northern Arizona Native American Services & Agencies

Created by Bree Desmond, NARBHA Tribal Services Manager Updated September 15, 2009 Increasing the Cultural Competency of Network Providers through better incorporation of American Indian Traditional Medicine Resources According to Donald Warne, the President and CEO of American Indian Health Management and Policy (AIHMP), 70% of urban and 90% of reservation American Indian People use traditional medicine. Traditional American Indian and Alaskan Native healing systems focus on balancing mind, body, and spirit within the community context. Contrary to the Western approach to health and healing, American Indian/Alaskan Native (AI/AN) healers do not isolate one part of a person and only try to heal that part. Traditional healing practices center on benefits to the emotional, spiritual, psychological and cultural aspects of the tribal group. Native Americans have practiced a holistic approach to healing for thousands of years. Part of this practice involves the use of medicinal plants and herbs. (This and further information can be found at http://www.tribalconnections.org/ehealthinfo/trad_healing.html) How often do we utilize this resource for our Tribal Clients? This probably doesn’t happen often enough because staff are not aware of how to navigate through the process to attain these services. Hopefully, this document will guide you through the necessary system navigation for attaining Traditional Services for NARBHA’s Tribal Members.

Examples of American Indian Traditional Medicine Services • Talking Circles [An object is specified as the “Talking Stick” (this could be a feather, pottery, a stone, a shell, or any thing that could be valued as special to the group) and then each person gets one turn to talk and express themselves without comments from the Group in the circle beyond affirmative motions or brief comments such as “A-ho,” “Yes,” “Right on,” “Good,” etc.] • Healing Ceremonies (These vary from Tribe to Tribe but include cleansing ceremonies after Trauma, Coming of Age ceremonies, and Transition to Adulthood Prayer Circles) • Herbal remedies (These vary as well but can include natural antibiotics or parts of plants or roots that are known traditionally for reaping healing effects) • Smudging (Burning Sage or Cedar or other specified herbs deemed sacred for its properties) • Sweat Lodge • Traditional Counseling (Utilizing the family, clan, and/or community and sometimes touch, physical proximity, and/or prayer) • Crystal Gazing • Regionally Specific Remedies (i.e. Medicine Wheel is a Plains Indian Philosophy that many Southwestern Tribes do not utilize in approaches to remedies) Gifting Gifting can be used as a means to establish a relationship or to express recognition, thanks, or a desire for help, depending on the intent of the giver. Often, gifting is involved the exchange for American Indian Traditional Medicine Services. Coordination, documentation, and funding for American Indian Traditional Medicine Services STEP 1: Within the Child and Family Team (CFT) or Adult Team (AT), a NARBHA client requests or is offered traditional services as a tool towards healing and recovery. If the team agrees this service would be useful to the client, PUT TRADITIONAL SERVICES ON THE TREATMENT/SERVICE PLAN (Specify Type and Amount) to document medical necessity for these services. Created by Bree Desmond, NARBHA Tribal Services Manager Updated September 15, 2009 STEP 2: THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO DO is to ACTIVELY and CREATIVELY REACH OUT TO and ENGAGE the FAMILY (as defined by the client and/or specific Tribal community) in the Treatment/Service Planning Process. ***Ideally, the family of the client seeks out and selects a known Medicine Man or Woman from their own community who they feel can help their family member in the way that they believe will be most beneficial. In some communities, Medicine Men or Women and/or Traditional Healers are not accessible within the family’s Tribal community and in these cases, it is important to help the family find a Medicine Man or Woman and/or a Traditional Healer. STEP 3: If the family chooses to utilize the financial support that is available to them for these services, the Responsible Agency (RA) Behavioral Health (BH) representative then needs to document or have documentation of what will be exchanged for the traditional services (tobacco, herbs, money, etc.). ***If the exchange will not include money, the family member(s) can choose to purchase or create the items for exchange themselves so that they have a more active and traditional role in the trade for services and can later be reimbursed by the RA BH representative as long as receipts or a description of costs of some sort can be provided. Some Tribal families may not want ANY external financial support in this process. It is important to not push for reimbursement or monetary support in these cases. STEP 4: The behavioral health representative then helps to facilitate coordination of the services being provided (location, transportation, purchase of necessary materials, etc.) collaboratively with other team members. STEP 5: Once those services occur, documentation of the services (including date of service, who provided the service, description of the service, how long the service lasted, and the client’s response to the service) must be in the chart on a progress note. Include the “quote” or “receipt” for the items requested in exchange for the services in the chart as well, if financial support was utilized in the exchange. STEP 6: The behavioral health representative can then make claims through NARBHA for these services. If financial support though the RA BH provider was utilized in the exchange, the behavioral health representative should submit claims based on the cost of the exchange and should match that dollar amount with the number of units that will cover the cost.

If the RA BH representative only assisted in coordination of these services a claim for case management services should be submitted based on the amount of time spent in this coordination. ***H0046 [Mental Health Services (NOS) (formerly Traditional Healing Services)] is the code for encountering funds for Traditional Services through NARBHA/DBHS. This code and its parameters can be found on page 41 of the Covered Services Guide. It is a state-only funded code (not reimburseable by Medicaid Title XIX or Title XXI). This code has a billing unit of 15 minutes and each member can have up to 32 units per member per day. The contract rate is $14.04 per unit. Please DO NOT ADD the qualifier “SE” to this code if you are making a claim for traditional services [H0046 SE is the code for claiming Room and Board services for clients who are in Level 2 or 3 residential placements].

If the client is under guardianship of WMAT Social Services and/or WMAT Tribal Court, family members will be consulted with to see what their preference is. If no family members are available, the guardian will make arrangements to obtain services. ABHS and WMAT Social Services Case Managers will work with Fee-For-Service Providers or other referral sources to assure clients wanting Traditional Services can access them. WMAT has a Cultural Liaison who can provide information regarding the aspects of the History and Culture of the White Mountain Apache Tribe.

Call the WMAT Cultural Center at 928-338-4811 and ask for the Cultural Liaison for further assistance. Hopi Tribe: When services of medicine women or men are needed, Hopi tradition is that family members have preference on which medicine person they would go to for services. Hopi cultural practice is that these healers are not paid by money. Most times payment is through food or other items (i.e. prayer feathers) depending on what type of service is being performed. Because payment is not their priority, most healers do not want their names given out. People know who to go to. If treatment agencies think that these services are needed for individual clients, they would need to recommend such service, and family would be responsible to contact their medicine person and or client can be released from inpatient services to family for such service. This has worked in the past. There is one Hopi Traditional Healer who agreed to have her name listed in this document. Her name is Theodora Homewytewa and she can be reached by calling 928-797-1218. She stated that she would also serve people from outside the Hopi Community. Navajo Nation: Most or all of the DBHS Agency Offices have a Traditional Practitioner or Counselor that might be able to assist but make sure you go through the Program Supervisors. Mr. Dale Gonnie is a Traditional Practitioner who runs traditional "Mens Sweat" focused on what becoming a "Man" in Navajo tradition is and what is expected of them. Along with the education, traditional songs and prayers are explained to the client. He also has a traditional Navajo perspective on Created by Bree Desmond, NARBHA Tribal Services Manager Updated September 15, 2009 substance use/abuse and aggression. Mr. Dale Gonnie works with Navajo DBHS at the Dilkon site. Mr. Philbert Peterson is the Program Supervisor for Dilkon OTC and his phone number is: (928) 657-8002. In the Navajo Nation, there are some prominent individuals that do present Origin Stories, Winter Stories, String Games, and Shoe Games. All are to be used during the winter time and include a social/relaxing past time but also have a cultural teaching aspect. The Navajo Nation Medicine Man’s Association can also be contacted for resources. Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe (YPIT): In this culture, family members would be asked to identify the unique customs, traditions, and/or ceremonies that are relevant to the person in treatment. Don Ostendorf can be contacted for collaboration related to attaining traditional resources if, by chance, Verde Valley Guidance Clinic or another one of our Service Area Agencies or Tribal Area Agencies (SAAs/TAAs) should intercept one of the 160 YPIT members and that member requests traditional services.
