Overview

The 21st century continues to deliver groundbreaking advances in technology, transforming the way care is accessed and delivered. Secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms now connect communities that once faced persistent barriers to recruiting and retaining providers, opening the door to consistent, high-quality care no matter where patients live.

Telepsychology and telepsychiatry make it possible for behavioral health clinicians and patients to meet in real time through secure video technology—supporting evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment without the limitations of distance.

First Nations Telehealth Solutions (FNTS) is an American Indian–owned and operated organization made up of highly qualified, culturally responsive providers. Our mission is to give underserved communities reliable access to top behavioral health specialists and prescribers. Because our team has lived, served, and provided care on reservations across the United States, we understand the unique needs of Native communities—urban, rural, and everything in between—and know that one size does not fit all.

We work side by side with each organization to design programs tailored to their specific needs. With so many health issues rooted in stress and trauma, integrating behavioral health with whole-person care is more important than ever (Strosahl, 1998; Fries et al., 1993; Shapiro et al., 1985). Research also shows that the highest utilizers of healthcare often have untreated or unresolved behavioral health conditions (Von Korff et al., 1992; Katon et al., 2003). Treating the whole person has always been the path to wellness in Native communities.
