Social Services Programs
Success, safety and wellness for everyone.
This is the vision for each and every community within the SPIPA consortium of tribes.
 |
Gwen Gua is Manager of the SPIPA Social Services Dept. |
While the five tribes have experienced a period of economic growth, the communities continue to face a number of social issues ranging from domestic violence to juvenile delinquency.
The SPIPA Social Services Department is dedicated to working with each
of the five tribes as they strive to empower their communities
to become free of violence, abuse, and oppression.
