It actively participated in partnerships and coalitions linked with the Tribal Public Health District infrastructure and build capacity to address comprehensive and/or specific public health issues or populations and assist with infrastructure development in all tribal communities. The program successfully helped to educate the tribal public and implement prevention strategies to enhance community engagement in reducing Substance abuse, underage drinking, marijuana use, prescription drug abuse, tobacco use, and problem gambling. Our program is a designated self-exclusion site. We have done a considerable amount of substance abuse prevention and health promotion work. Unfortunately this work ends 6/30/2016. 40542 39857 HIV Prevention Services: Wabanaki's Wub-bub-noc-keig HIV Program: There has been much change in this program. This year the program has experienced a significant decrease in funding. The majority of the work has been done during the summer. This includes health promotion, community education, risk reduction counseling, condom distribution and rapid testing. The work has been performed at tribal health fairs, migrant blueberry camps and youth camps. The program has effectively helped improve the health of Native Americans and all Maine people by promoting behaviors, attitudes, skills, community norms and/or knowledge that reduce the risk of HIV, HEPC and other STDS. We lost a majority of our grants in 2015 due to changed priorities with funding streams. Work has been reduced in this area but we are now looking to expand HEPC prevention work. 266016 251774 Reach.
