Understanding Assessment, Foster Care and Adoption with American Indian/Alaska Native Children and their Families (Part 1 and Part 2)

This course is designed as 2 three hour trainings, geared towards social workers that are involved with the assessment and placement of children in out-of-home care, and who are looking for a deeper understanding of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA).
