“Welcome to the Dine Local Collaborative website!”
“We are a
behavioral health coalition located in the Navajo Nation. We provide
opportunities for community and families and those affected by mental health
and substance abuse issues to voice their concerns about services and
programs”
“Our vision
is to assist behavioral health providers and state/tribal governments to
develop culturally humbly behavioral health programs and services for Native
Americans”
