Topics discussed at our last meet,ng
The Siletz Tribe has received a grant
(Strategic Prevention Framework) to help
us assess the needs of our community
regarding the abuse of drugs and alcohol
and then make plans to address those
needs. One way to initiate this process is
to collect local data and hgure out where
we need to start our prevention efforts.
•
Kelley Ellis’ presentation about the
new Violence Against Women Act
grant she is implementing

Since there is minimal local data to
access, we are going to do our best to
gather this information from all of our
community members. Expect to see short
questionnaires here and there throughout
the community. I’ll thank you ahead of
time for filling these out to create new
possibilities to help your community live
healthier and happier lives.
