Circles Of Care IV Communities 2008 - 20011
From fiscal year 1997 to fiscal year 2009, the National Indian Child Welfare Association (NICWA) collaborated with Center for Mental Health Services of the Substance Abuse Mental Health Service Administration, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention of the U.S. Department of Justice, and Indian Health Service through a contract to provide technical assistance to tribal/urban recipients of both the Circles of Care grant program and Systems of Care implementation grants. This cooperative effort is sometimes referred to as the Indian Children's Mental Health Initiative.
Circles of Care Project
Circles of Care is a 3-year federal planning grant through the Center for Mental Health Services targeted specifically at enabling Indian communities to evaluate their current children's mental health system and develop a model program based on the systems of care principles.

Circles of Care Tribal Youth Leaders
The third round of Circles of Care projects includes a new component: youth involvement. Youth are included so they can share their voice in the planning process describing their needs and preferred ways of getting them met in a service delivery model. This power point was created by these young people during the summer 2007 grantee meeting in Denver, CO.
