Center for Regional and
Tribal Child Welfare
Studies

Updated

Welcome from Center Director: Priscilla Day

Welcome to the Center for Regional and Tribal Child Welfare Studies (referred to as “the Center”). We are fortunate to have passionate and committed staff who provide many services including student support activities, cultural competence, outreach, and curriculum development to name a few. We have a particular emphasis on serving our region which is quite rural. American Indian children and families are also an important part of our mission as our region is home to seven Ojibwe tribes in northern Minnesota.

We invite you to explore our site and hope that you find our resources useful.

About the "Center"

The Mission of the University of Minnesota Duluth's Center for Regional and Tribal Child Welfare Studies is to advance the well-being of children by strengthening families and communities through social work education, research, and outreach in the region.

Preparing social work practitioners who are committed to racial and social justice, as embodied through the concepts of cultural competence
Promoting best practices in child welfare, including strength-based practice and program development to address unmet needs
Addressing the special needs of providing child welfare services in rural areas
Developing collaborative partnerships with and among other public, private, and tribal agencies/organizations to strengthen the region’s ability to promote the well-being of children by developing healthy families and communities
