    2. Culture Card An idea is hatched Concept was inspired by the Iraq Culture Smart Card developed by the Marine Corps Intelligence Agency for the military deploying to Iraq after I saw boxes of them at a National Guard Unit while deployed to Katrina in Sept. 2005 The basic idea was to develop something for non-Indian PHS Officers deployed to Indian Country for suicide clusters. I was reassigned to SAMHSA in May 2006 and presented the concept to staff and supervisors. PHS Mental Health Team leader CAPT Delany gave initial go ahead and SAMHSA leadership agreed In August of 2006 assembled an ad hoc workgroup with PHS Officers, AI/AN behavioral health professionals and community members who volunteered their time to develop content and review formatted material ANDYANDY

    4. Culture Card - Behind the Scenes Many drafts and edits with input from a wide-variety of people familiar with work in Indian Country including the PHS American Indian/Alaska Native Commissioned Officers Advisory Committee Funding to design and print the Culture Card was identified through a sub-task of the CMHS Eliminating Mental Health Disparities Initiative at SAMSHA Vanguard Communications was the contractor that provided professional graphic design and printing Initial printing of 2000 copies in January 2008. Within 2 months nearly all were distributed via word of mouth Second printing of 5000 copies was initiated in April 2008 with minor edits made after feedback from tribes at several SAMSHA consultation sessions ANDYANDY

    5. The Product Final product is printed by Z-card www.zcard.com slightly larger than a credit card with 16 panels that unfold covering different topics The Culture Card is available through SAMHSA as a internal document for government employees and has not gone through the HHS clearance process for general public distribution, yet Commissioned Corps Officers are a primary audience
