ValueOptions New Mexico has named Priscilla Haukaas Caverly the new director of its Region 6 Native American office.
The office is responsible for developing programs and services that meet the behavioral health care needs of American Indians.
Caverly, an enrolled member of the Lakota Rosebud Sioux tribe, has three decades of experience working with tribal systems and organizations nationwide. Most recently she served as a quality manager/utilization review specialist and as a child and family therapist for the Pascua Yaqui Pueblo in Tucson, Ariz. Prior to that, she was the director of Kumeyaay Family Services for the Southern Indian Health Council in Alpine, Calif.
She also was the longtime director of the RedSun Institute, located in the Four Corners area of southern Colorado. There she devoted much of her time to issues affecting tribal communities across the nation as well as publishing the Native Monthly Reader, a newspaper for schools in the U.S. and Canada. In the mid-1980s, she helped create the first Indian Child Welfare Program in Denver.
Caverly, who will be based in the Santa Fe offices of ValueOptions New Mexico, holds a master's degree in Counseling Psychology from the California Professional School of Psychology in San Diego and a bachelor's degree in Educational Administration and Guidance and Counseling from Loretto Heights College in Denver.
