Integrated Health Outreach
Diaphragmatic Breathing
The practice of diaphragmatic breathing, or "belly breathing," can help improve your health in a multitude of way, such as better sleep and improved digestion. This type of breathing focuses on using the diaphragm—or breathing with the belly—and taking deep, slow breaths.
The Power of Sleep
Sleep has a powerful effect on both your mental and physical health in a wide variety of ways. Losing just a few hours of sleep across several nights can weaken your focus and ability to function while getting enough sleep can promote whole-body wellness.
Is Your Teen Depressed?
Depression in youth ages 12 to 17 is fairly common, with 13.3% of teenagers having experienced a major depressive episode. Additionally, 3.2% of children age 3 and older have received a diagnosis of depression. There are proven ways your family can help.
Screening Tools for Integrated Care Providers
To identify symptoms early, screening for behavioral health conditions should be conducted universally for all adult patients and regularly, such as on an annual basis. Early detection helps address conditions before they worsen or become chronic, and regular screening for all patients helps capture conditions that patients may not self-report.
Success Stories
Indian Health Board of Minneapolis
Made possible under the BH2I program, the IHB primary clinic has incorporated traditional healing options into its services. The team has used BH2I funds to purchase traditional medicines and has plans to establish a smudge/prayer room for patients.
Muscogee (Creek) Nation Pediatrics Clinics
By assessing the service data, the clinics gained a clearer understanding of patient needs. As a result of the BH2I data collected, the program was able to expand its services to the tribal Head Start programs, using the same model of care applied in the pediatrics clinics.
South Dakota Urban Indian Health Cultural Healing Program
The South Dakota Urban Indian Health (SDUIH) Cultural Healing Program is growing. This program offers culturally centered programming designed to build upon the cultural strengths of the Oceti Sakowin people.
