The Lake County Tribal Health Medical Clinic screens all pregnant and parenting women for depression, domestic violence, and current substance use. Staff members refer women with positive screens or other identified needs to the co-located Human Services department, which connects patients to behavioral healthcare and a range of supportive programs. The Lake County Tribal Health Consortium also manages a Tribal Preschool where children receive school-readiness services and parents can participate in several parenting and support programs, including a substance use recovery group.
