The fifth and final session of this series is “Innovations and best practices for whole person care for people with behavioral health needs and working with AIAN partners including the health of AIAN pregnant, birthing and postpartum people“.

The session then focuses on Tribal/Urban behavioral health system updates (crisis response services, Behavioral Health Aides, legislation) and coordination of best practices including Indian Health Care Providers as health homes, honoring tribal sovereignty, and Tribes as governments not just clinics.
