Show SHUMWAY PAGE 2 KB.: (Laughs) That's quite an area. And you say that most of the services are involved with the Indians, the Ute and the Navajo? BS: About 95% of our work is with Indians. KB: Now, is this federally connected, or is it through the BIA, or just what branch are you? BS: A state program-KB: A .state program? BS: under the Division of Family Services. We have federal monies involved but it's a state administered program. But the changes are coming about--we may become a federal program, but it's likely that we are going to stay with the state for some time yet. KB'.: Just what types of programs then, do you offer under the social services? BS: When a person applies for assistance, we go in and evaluate their circumstances, find out why the dependency problem, whether it's divorce, lack of employment, training, or whatever it is that's created the dependency problem. And then we implement the moreor- less treatment program to try to overcome the problem. It it's lack of education, why, we get them into an Adult education program. If it's lack of training, we refer them to the Work Incentive Program that's administered by employment Security so they can get some training and skill so they can get employment. Along |
