The Department of Health and Human Services, Indian Health Service and the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs join together this year to present the first joint 2010 IHS/BIA National Behavioral Health Conference. This event demonstrates the commitment and renewed energy of both agencies to work in partnership to actively address behavioral health disparities in Indian Country. This year’s conference theme, A Shared Vision…Past, Present, and Future emphasizes the importance of leadership and collaboration toward improving the behavioral health status of American Indian and Alaska Native people. This focus on collaboration marks only the beginning of a much larger long-term vision, which will aim to bring the full weight of Tribal leadership, programs, and resources together for the advancement of American Indian and Alaska Native behavioral health.
