BISMARCK – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) announced today the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration awarded $1,000,000 to Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. 

The funds will be used for the Children’s Mental Health Initiative to improve the mental health outcomes of young people up to age 21 – and their families – who have serious emotional disturbance. This program supports the implementation, expansion, and integration of a system-of-care approach, creating sustainable infrastructure across an array of entities to deliver community-based services.
