2. Indigenous Child Welfare: Preparations for the Next Seven Generations

In this two-part module, participants will explore the findings of a scoping study on Indigenous child welfare within Turtle Island (Canada and U.S.). Findings from the scoped literature describe: the current state of the literature pertaining to child welfare with Indigenous families; why disparities persist in the involvement of Indigenous families in county, state and provincial child welfare systems; culturally-based child protection beliefs, practices, and programs within Indigenous communities; evidence regarding the effectiveness of culturally-based child welfare programs; and challenges to widespread implementation of such culturally-based programs. Part one describes the problem of disparities in Indigenous child welfare literature throughout Turtle Island. Part two will explore the solutions.
