Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister of health. What mental health supports does the health system make available to trauma survivors in small communities? Thank you.
Deh Cho. Minister of Health and Social Services.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the community counselling program provides mental health supports to all residents in the Northwest Territories, including children and youth. They also help facilitate referrals to more specialized service, including access to facility-based treatment. There's also, again, like I mentioned just previously, the Community Wellness and Addiction Recovery Fund that is something that the government does provide a fund so Indigenous groups can access to create their own community-based, on the land, cultural, Indigenous-based programming within their community. And then, again, the Community Suicide Prevention Fund. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, how are services for addictions and trauma being measured and evaluated and what are the statistics on these programs? Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we collect data, both on the community counselling programs and the facility-based addiction treatment programs, but I don't have the specific details of both. Last year, I think this was about 200 NWT residents that accessed facility-based addictions treatment. The community counselling program and facility-based addiction treatment programs have performance monitoring framework in place which outlines data and indicating reporting requirements. The department also completes quality assurance audits of the community counselling programs delivered across the Northwest Territories and are planning for their audit to begin November 2024. And the Department of Health and Social Services also administers biannual surveys for residents. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Minister mentioned funding earlier. How much of this funding has been distributed to the communities in the Deh Cho riding? Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Community Wellness and Recovery Fund, there has been $573,000 to the Deh Cho First Nation which include -- including in that is KFN. The amount -- yes, so split between those two. And then there's the Community Suicide Prevention Fund which there's another additional $185,206 to Chief Sunrise, K'atlodeeche First Nation, DFFN. So all together, those three groups and KFN received $185,000. Thank you.
