GENERAL COUNSELING
We offer a wide variety of
counseling services to people
of all ages with drug or alcohol,
mental health, or upsetting life
problems. These services can
help with problems such as
depression, family conflicts,
anxiety, phobias, substance
abuse, relationships, and
adjustment to difficult life
situations like grief and loss.
Our experienced qualified staff
are trained to deal with the
most difficult problems with
professionalism, sensitivity,
and strict confidentiality.
CRISIS
No one plans for a crisis or
emergency. They happen. We
are here to help you. During
regular office hours call or stop
by and someone will help
support you. If you require a
mental health or chemical
dependency screening, we will
schedule one and make
referrals to other community
support agencies when
needed. Call (509) 634-2610 or
1-800-573-9343 (Eastern WA
only). A qualified
therapist/counselor will assist
you in accessing what services
you need
with caring concern.

Patient Care for "WALK-INS" when the patient come to the public safety building to

require transportation and could be simply changing a bandage, check a blood pressure,
or simply provide them to access outside agencies to provide them with appropriate
medical advice.
Respond to patients homes when they may need assistance with their home medical
equipment, such as their home oxygen, their medic alert system, provide them with
portable oxygen tanks or other items that the department may have to assist them in a
unique process.
Provide Transportation from medical facilities in outlying health care facilities to the
patient’s home because they're unable to ride in a conventional means of transportation
and the public transportation is unavailable. This may also occur when those patients are
returning home under HOSPICE Care.
Ambulance Crews have assisted families when dealing in End of Life Care situations by
providing temporary use of equipment such as Pulse Oxygenation Devices,
Thermometers, and other equipment that they may not have readily available when that
patient has returned home from another healthcare facility.

those that were less fortunate.
Ambulance Crews have provided services during sporting events at the Wellpinit School,

Fire Wood Assistance - for 2 weeks every fall DNR staff go out and cut firewood
for seniors. We work with LIHEAP and Elders Program to identify those most in
need of assistance. Because of issues we have experienced the last two years. We
have a group that is now "drafting" a policy to guide whom and how we assist in the
future.
Salmon Distribution - every spring, the salmon hatcheries contact us to receive
surplus salmon. Numbers we receive always depend on returns. We send DNR staff
to these hatcheries to gather them. DNR tries to fill the freezers each run with 100
fish for cultural and ceremonial purposes. Then the remaining are distributed to
Tribal Members at three locations -West-End, Wellpinit, Ford, TANF sends a crew
to distribute salmon in Spokane for Tribal Members there.

Each year Spokane Tribal Fisheries partners with local organizations and
schools in an effort to assist local educators with outreach materials and programs.
One such program is through the Lake Roosevelt Forum which offers Student

complexities of Lake Roosevelt’s watershed. Each Discovery Zone is staffed by
local resource specialists, including biologists, geologists and foresters
representing many different agencies.
Recently we began developing a Salmon in the Classroom project to assist
Spokane Tribal students with understanding the cultural, historical and Ecological
importance that Salmon has to the Spokane Tribe of Indians. The project will be
online starting this fall and is highlighted by a painted mural and dugout canoe
carved by tribal members.
Student Internships are also available as each year the Spokane Tribal Fisheries
department hosts several student interns who are in their Junior or Senior year of
High school or recently started college. Typically, the student interns participate in
the Spokane Tribal Program or are selected from external internship programs such
as the American Fisheries Society Hutton Junior Fisheries Biologist Program.
Students have the opportunity to work on several projects within the Spokane
Tribal Fisheries program including Limnology, Lake Roosevelt Fisheries, and
Sturgeon Recovery. Student Interns need to be able to provide their own
transportation to mentor’s office in Wellpinit, WA. Or Airway Heights, WA with

Wellpinit Schools
The Wellpinit School District is a rural K-12, public school district centered on the
Spokane Indian Reservation in Eastern Washington. It is located in southwest
Stevens County, approximately 45 miles from Spokane. We serve approximately
600 students in grades K-12. Wellpinit School District was chartered as a state and
county school in 1913 and a large public school was built in 1938. The present
school facility was built in 1987 with the current Elementary school grades located
in the old school building that was renovated in 2003. In addition, the District
serves students beyond the reservation boundaries through the Alliance Education
Program. The Wellpinit School District has a staff of approximately 100 personnel.
Our local student population is approximately 95% Native American or
descendent. The students residing in the district are primarily from the Spokane
Tribe of Indians; in addition we also have students from the Colville Confederated
Tribes, Nez Perce, Coeur d' Alene, Kalispell and other Tribes.
The district’s recently remodeled building houses the Middle School (grades 6-8)
and high school (grades 9-12). The elementary school is housed in a nicely
remodeled building about a half mile from the middle school and high school
building. The district also has a building that houses the district office. In addition,
the district has an Open Doors Reengagement Program offering a high school
diploma or GED. Reengagement Programs are located in Wellpinit, at Fort Simcoe
Job Corps, and Moses Lake Columbia Job Corps. The district has a broad range of
programs to serve the needs of its diverse student population.

Wellpinit School District also offers Open Doors Reengagement Academy
Due to a variety of reasons, many students often find themselves well into their high
school career with few credits and an overwhelming feeling of failure and no chance
at achieving a high school diploma. Wellpinit School District’s Student Engagement
Academy (SEA) is a new program designed to offer young adults, ages 16-21, who
do not yet have a diploma or high school equivalency (GED) an alternative to
dropping out of school. This program will allow students to work toward their high
school diploma or study for the GED.
Students will have access to basic skills courses in Reading, Writing and Math as

from a variety of options, including online credit and credit retrieval and GED prep.
Students will complete a rigorous training program and earn industry-recognized
