“Wraparound in Indian Country: The Ways of the People are Who We Are”
Native American Training Institute
4-day (Part I & Part II)
Training For Tribal Providers, Caseworkers, Youth Workers & others who are interested learning how to facilitate the wraparound process.
July 30 – August 2, 2013
Bismarck, ND
The wraparound concept is both old and new in Indian Country. While the wraparound process is a method for professionals to work with children and families in crisis, the practice of calling on one’s relatives and the community for support has been in Native communities for hundreds of years. This training is an adaptation of national training incorporating Native American perspectives and best practices learned by tribal people. The authors have fused the traditional teachings of their communities, mainstream ideas and the lessons learned in practice into this four-session training module. This training will provide an overview of a System of Care framework, the National Wraparound Initiative, wraparound core values, principles, crisis & safety planning, culture based wraparound and hands on skill building activities.
Trainers:
Deborah Painte, Director and Sandra Bercier, Training Director
Native American Training Institute (NATI)
3333 E. Broadway, Suite 1210, Bismarck, ND 58501

Training from a Tribal Perspective
Wed, 29 May 2013 01:09:00 +0500
The drug endangered children (DEC) effort is an inclusive and collaborative approach to helping children. We have been honored that the tribal people also find value in the drug endangered children concepts.
The Bureau of Justice Assistance awarded National DEC, in partnership with Lamar Associates, a grant to build tribal justice expertise in Indian Country. National DEC's trainers, Lori Moriarty and Eric Nation, have been delivering Tribal Core DEC training with positive responses. Eric shares with us some of his lessons learned from his experiences training in Indian Country:
· Be sincere, have respect for the group and show you care.
· Make sure there is plenty of time to talk and share stories.
· Never compare one tribe to another. Ever.
· Be interactive and have plenty of sharing activities on hand.
If you are interested in learning more about DEC in Indian Country, check out Lamar Associates tuition-free trainings on Drugs of Abuse and Drug Endangered Children. This informative training will help you understand the risks and problems associated with prescription and over the counter drug abuse and diversion, and how to spot the signs of a drug endangered child and intervene before it's too late.
