The National Tribal Advisory Committee (NTAC) on Behavioral Health acts as an advisory body to the Division of Behavioral Health (DBH) and to the Director of the Indian Health Service (IHS), with the aim of providing guidance and recommendations on programmatic issues that affect the delivery of behavioral health care for American Indian and Alaska Natives. Nominations to fill the Representative and/or Alternate positions by a Tribe should be submitted to the Director of the California Area IHS.  The Area Director submits the written nomination letter to the IHS Director.
