Because of my tribal child welfare experience, I thought I knew what to expect, but I still was left feeling unsupported and unimportant. So, let’s talk about some ways we can do better.
This webinar provides an introduction to tribes, citizenship, and connection. Presenters also discuss strategies to support and engage families.
The Tribal Support Services Assessment Tool offers a tailored approach that focuses on the needs, practices, and priorities of tribes.
AdoptUSKids worked with tribal consultants to provide this information to help you,
as a tribal child welfare administrator, ground resource family support efforts in tribal
culture and have tribal values, language, traditions, and teachings guide your work with
resource families.
This tip sheet, created in partnership with tribal consultants, offers tribal child welfare administrators tips for supporting resource families who are acting as extended family.
Presenters discuss the forms peer support can take and strategies for incorporating it.
