Social Work & Indian Child Welfare

Paul-René and Andrea have provide consultation on the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (ICWA) in both the 1990s and 2000s. Some referrals have been through the National Indian Child Welfare Association based in Portland Oregon.

Consultation has involved work with establishing review boards to provide consultation on cases, court testimony, both tribal and municipal, work on Child Welfare League of America (CWLA) foster care and adoption standards and tribal and state government agencies (such as state Child Protection/ Family Service).
