The Yurok Tribe was awarded a portion of the FY 2018 Enhancing Community Responses to the Opioid Crisis grant. This is a grant intended to provide additional support for the youngest members of their community who are affected by the opioid crisis with a program that will use evidence-based and culturally appropriate tactics. In this grant submission they identify their integrated RiteTrack database system as integral to managing data from multiple departments involved in these cases which they will use to create a feedback system for continued assessment. The programs/departments included on this system are:

• Tribal/local superior courts
• Law enforcement
• Indian Child Welfare (ICW) services
• Child protective services (CPS)
• Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
• The schools

We are honored to partner with the Yurok Tribe on this initiative to improve the lives of some of their most vulnerable citizens.
