Wichita and Affiliated Tribes 988 Tribal Response Program

The Wichita and Affiliated Tribes 988 Tribal Response Program is dedicated to improving access to culturally responsive crisis services, suicide prevention, behavioral health support, and community education for Native individuals and families throughout our service area.

Our program works alongside the state and national 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifelines to help ensure American Indian and Alaska Native callers can be connected with culturally informed care and local tribal resources whenever possible. We believe that healing begins with connection, compassion, and honoring the unique strengths of our tribal communities.

Our program focuses on increasing awareness of mental health, reducing stigma, strengthening partnerships, and expanding access to behavioral health services through outreach, education, and prevention initiatives.

Mental Health Awareness Training (MHAT)

Mental health education saves lives.

Through our Mental Health Awareness Training (MHAT) initiative, we provide evidence-informed training opportunities that help community members recognize the signs of mental health challenges, respond confidently during a crisis, and connect individuals with appropriate support.

We are currently gathering community feedback to better understand what trainings are most needed throughout our communities. Whether you’re a parent, educator, healthcare professional, first responder, youth leader, tribal employee, or community member, your input helps us develop trainings that are meaningful and responsive to local needs.
