YOR II Project Description: The proposed “Anadutana” project was administered by the Family Services Department of the Toiyabe Indian Health Project, Inc. (Toiyabe) and community partners through a large collaborative of Native American, non-native and child-serving partners. Anadutana is a Paiute word meaning “lacing a baby in the cradle board.” A cradle board has been used historically by American Indians to provide security to our young. The Anadutana project is Toiyabe’s effort to provide security and support for our future generations. The purpose of the project is to encourage wellness amongst youth by providing a network of intervention and treatment options for opioid and stimulant use disorders.

Project Description: YOR III will provide improved and effective linkages to MAT programing offered at Toiyabe Indian Health Project.

By providing new linkages to care through new partnerships Toiyabe Indian Health Project will be able to increase outreach and improve prevention services to youth and provide a pathway to access care.
