San Carlos Indian Reservation Juvenile Tribal Healing to Wellness Court

The Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (CTAS) serves as a single solicitation for existing tribal government-specific grant programs administered by the Office of Justice Programs (OJP), the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) and the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). The CTAS solicitation is designed to assist tribes with addressing crime and public safety issues in a comprehensive manner. The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention provides awards under CTAS Purpose Area 8--Juvenile Healing to Wellness Courts. The overall purpose of this grant program is to support tribes seeking to develop a new Juvenile Healing to Wellness Court to respond to the alcohol and substance use issues of juveniles and young adults under the age of 21.

The San Carlos Apache Tribe will expand its healing to wellness court to provide substance abuse services to youth on the reservation. The goal is to bring together alcohol and drug treatment and community healing resources to achieve physical and spiritual healing for tribal youth. CA/NCF
