Clinic providers receive appreciation By Lisa Brown I wanted to thank our Siletz Community Health Clinic for services and providers that help our members to identify risk factors and resources to address physical and emotional health issues. I have been very impressed with our physician’s assistant, William Fisher, due to my faith in osteopathic trigger point therapy and the theory of muscle memory for emotional release/healing. Also, Mary Beth Nichols in our Behavioral Health program. I ‘m very impressed with her well-rounded approach and the multitude of techniques she offers to find the best fit for clients. It’s such a gift for me personally to have providers offering alternative approaches for chronic pain due to stress or anxiety due to emotional/historical trauma. I have lived 20+ years in my Tribal community and interacted with so many who share my grief and feelings of helplessness when people we love, or ourselves, feel lost, powerless or abused. Having medical/mental health providers to assist with dealing with symptoms is a major part of the healing process. But it also takes effort/time to address the causes too! Change in Siletz Clinic check-in times The Siletz Clinic asks all patients with appointments to check in 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time. This allows for any necessary paperwork to be completed prior to your appointment with your provider. Thank you! Reminder from the Siletz Clinic The Siletz Clinic would like to remind parents and guardians that if you send your child to an appointment with someone other than yourself or other legal guardian, you will need to sign a Release of Information. This gives permission for another person to bring your child to appointments and for your child’s provider to discuss the child’s care with them. If you have any questions, please call 541-444-1030 or 800-648-0449. Thank you! CNAY accepting applications, nominations for Champions for Change WASHINGTON – The Center for Native American Youth (CNAY), a policy program at the Aspen Institute, is accept- ing nominations and applications for its Champions for Change leadership devel- opment program. Champions for Change, inspired by a White House initiative, is an annual youth recognition program that shines a spotlight on positive stories in Indian Country, promotes hope among American Indian youth and develops young Tribal, state and national leaders. “Being recognized as a Champion for Change connected me with other Native youth leaders across Tribal nations,” said Vanessa Goodthunder, 2016 Champion for Change. “My connection to the Center for Native American Youth and their network continues to help me develop my leader- ship efforts.” CNAY is soliciting both nomina- tions and applications directly from Native youth and community members. Tribal leaders, teachers, coaches, school administrators, parents, Native youth and others can nominate a young Native leader (age 14-22) who is making a positive impact in his or her Tribal or urban Indian community. met with Cabinet secretaries, Supreme Court justices, members of Congress and White House staff, among others. CNAY will contact the nominee and invite him or her to submit a full applica- tion. Youth also can submit the Champi- ons for Change application on their own without a nomination. Candidates must complete their application by Nov. 15. “The Champions for Change program not only recognizes Native youth doing critical work in their communities, but these young people help other Native youth across the country drive a new nar- rative – one that focuses on the strength and resilience of our youth,” said Erik Stegman, executive director of CNAY. “We invite Tribal leaders, teachers, peers and others to identify positive youth-led work and nominate those youth for our program so that we can lift up those youth and their incredible stories.” CNAY will announce the 2017 Champions class this December and will bring them to Washington, D.C., in February 2017 for a series of events with Tribal leaders, policymakers and other key stakeholders to be recognized for their leadership efforts.
