The NRC4Tribes is seeking Tribal input about the training and technical assistance needs of Tribal child welfare systems. This information will be used by the NRC4Tribes to develop and provide appropriate T/TA for tribes over the next four years of the project. The online needs assessment will also inform the Children's Bureau about the types of T/TA that is needed to support and strengthen Tribal child welfare systems.
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:
- Enhancing Tribal access to and utilization of the Children’s Bureau T&TA Network;
- Brokering Tribal T&TA through the T&TA Network;
- Assisting in the provision of T&TA as needed and feasible;
- Facilitating peer-to-peer consultation between Tribes regarding child welfare issues;
- Increasing cultural competence and sensitivity to Tribal voices in the T&TA Network and in State child welfare systems
- Generating toolkits, resource manuals, and other products for dissemination
- Participating in NRC4Tribes-specific and national cross-site evaluation process
A key objective of the NRC for Tribes in its first year is to conduct in a national assessment of tribal child welfare systems, to better understand and appropriately serve tribal communities in subsequent years. The National Resource Center for Tribes is authorized to provide T&TA services to federally-recognized Tribes who receive federal Title IV-B funding. |
