Gift package pickup will take place on May 5, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and May 6 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Wellness Center entrance at PHS.

COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the mental health and wellness of our youth.  Our young people have had to deal with a variety of very difficult circumstances including fear, anxiety, depression, isolation and not being able to interact with their peers.  See below to view a list of organizations in our 10 county service area which provide live mental health support in cooperation with Pokagon Health Services.  Services are also available to Pokagon Citizens living outside of the 10 county service area.  

After months of collaboration between our tribe’s Language Program and Mango Languages, a language-training company, the first chapter of our Potawatomi Language Course has launched. This is the first of ten chapters planned for phase one of the course.
