The National Child Resource Center for Tribes (NRC4Tribes) is the newest resource center within the Children’s Bureau Training and Technical Assistance (T&TA) National Network. This new National Resource Center for Tribes will join the Children's Bureau's Child Welfare Training and Technical Assistance (T&TA) Network which is designed to improve child welfare systems and to support States and Tribes in achieving sustainable, systemic change that results in greater safety, permanency, and well-being for children, youth, and families. The Children’s Bureau is located within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Tribes will continue to be able to access training and technical assistance (T&TA) through various national resources centers within the Children’s Bureau National T&TA Network. Following an initial planning/assessment year, this new NRC for Tribes will become the focal point for coordinated and culturally competent child welfare T&TA for Tribes within the T&TA Network. The NRC4Tribes will work collaboratively with Tribes and the T&TA Network to assist Tribes in the enhancement of child welfare services and the promotion of safety, permanency and well-being for American Indian/Alaska Native children and families – including:
