NICWA Trainings: Understanding the Indian Child Welfare Act or Positive Indian Parenting

September 16 - September 18

Both NICWA trainings are being held on September 16-19 in Portland, Oregon. Visit the training website to register for one of the classes.

Understanding the Indian Child Welfare Act – $550.00

This three-day training provides participants with information about the basic legal requirements of the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (ICWA) and the practice issues involved with ICWA’s implementation. A brief history of U.S. Indian policy as it relates to Indian children and families sets the stage for an examination of the specific provisions of ICWA and practice tips for both Tribal and state social workers. Participants will also learn how to successfully integrate other federal and state policies with ICWA—such as the Adoption and Safe Families Act—and support developing tribal and state agreements and other systems changes. This training includes information about the recent Bureau of Indian Affairs ICWA regulations and guidelines.

Positive Indian Parenting – $625.00

Their most popular training, Positive Indian Parenting (PIP) prepares Tribal and non-Tribal child welfare personnel to train American Indian and Alaska Native parents using a culturally specific approach. The materials presented during this training draw on the strengths of historic Indian child-rearing practices and blend traditional values with contemporary skills. Storytelling, cradleboards, harmony, lessons of nature, behavior management, and the use of praise are discussed.
