American Indian Community & Men’s Mental Health and Well-being Needs Survey

We are conducting a survey to help us better understand how the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is affecting the physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental health of the Native American population in your community, especially men and boys. Your feedback is valuable to us and will help us come up with strategies to help understand and address the community's and men’s mental health and well-being needs.

Please note that this survey is anonymous, so feel free to be honest and open about your own experiences. It takes about 5-10 minutes to complete. If you have any questions, comments, and/or would like to get in contact with us, please reach out to either Susan Gay, program coordinator, via email at sgay@spthb.org, or Idalmi Deleon, program assistant, via email at ideleon@spthb.org.
