SIPI is in the process of hiring a substance abuse counselor on our campus for our students for the spring 2023 trimester. 

SIPI has a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with First Nations Community Healthsource (FNCH). Students needing personal and/or substance abuse counseling will be referred to Megan Sanchez, LPCC. If you are a student and in need of assistance, please see Dr. Cometsevah and an appropriate referral will be made to FNCH. 

SIPI also has an MOU with Indian Health Service and appropriate referrals will be made to the Indian Health Service-Behavioral Health.
