          • Maternal and Child Health

            Northwest Tribes recognize that healthy Native mothers and children are at the heart of healthy Native communities. Healthy Native moms and babies need a continuum of support that extends across families, communities, health care and social services systems. The Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board (NPAIHB) works to support tribal Maternal and Child Health (MCH) initiatives through community-based research projects, data, technical assistance, and coordination of resources.

          • Tribal Community Health Provider Project

            The TCHP Project supports tribal innovation and leadership by facilitating projects that allow our communities to thrive in the way our ancestors intended. Our projects promote tribal self-governance and tribal sovereignty by removing barriers and nurturing the voice of the next generation of AI/AN leadership. Our project is expanding the tribal community health provider programs in the Portland Area by designing and implementing TCHP education programs for CHA/P, BHA/P, and DHA/T, championing initiatives to expand health care workforce, amplifying tribal leadership in health care, supporting tribal traditional practices, and establishing infrastructure to support TCHP programs like an Area CHAP Certification Board, and the Oregon DHAT pilot project.

          • Washington Youth Sexual Health Project​

            The Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board (NPAIHB) and the Washington State Department of Health is a co-coordinated Innovation Network of youth-serving organizations dedicated to improving youth’s access to and experience with sexual health care in I/T/U (Indian Health Service, Tribal and Urban) clinic settings, including sexual health services for 2SLGBTQ teens and young adults.

          • Loved Here, Safe Here.

          • Native Voices

            Our goal was to adapt a video-based HIV/STI intervention for AI/AN teens and young adults (15-24 years old), and evaluate its impact among Native youth living in urban and rural communities. Native VOICES is currently the only intervention purposefully designed for AI/AN youth included in the CDC’s compendium of effective HIV interventions. The study was funded by the IHS Native American Research Centers for Health (NARCH).

          • Native Voices Logo

          • Native It’s Your Game

            Our goal was to design an evidence-based sexual health curriculum that reflects and includes the experiences of Native youth and the communities they come from. One that weaves the diverse faces, voices, experiences, and cultural values that can be shared with not only tribal communities, but with other multicultural communities across the US. We have taken a community approach, to solve a community problem.

          • Response Circles

            Funded by past Indian Health Service domestic violence prevention program grants, the goals and objectives of this past project were to foster coordination and collaboration among DV/SA service providers in the Pacific Northwest, provide technical assistance to Northwest Tribes, and increase community awareness about domestic and sexual violence.
