The National Indian Justice Center (NIJC) is pleased to announce that it has received a grant from the Native American Children Training Forum (CF) Program of the California Emergency Management Agency (Cal EMA) to administer a program entitled the Native American Children Training Forum (NACTF).
The program objectives include:
1. Conduct a telecommunications/information technology (IT) needs assessment of California tribal communities;
2. Increase the IT capacity at five (5) or more tribal sites based upon the analysis of the needs assessment;
3. Identify and develop one (1) or more training curricula related to serving Indian children who have been abuse or neglected, or are at risk of being abused or neglected (subjects will be prioritized from responses to the needs assessment); and
4. Develop, pilot and evaluate one training session.
Our first step is to develop an opt in e-mail list of tribal child welfare service providers who are interested in participating in the needs assessment. If you are interested in participating, please click the Join Our Mailing List tab above.
