Cultural Enhancement of Mental Health Services for American Indian Children

(Dolores Subia Bigfoot, PhD and Lana O. Beasley, PhD)

Within the field of children’s mental health, there has been a distinct move to create transportability of evidence-based treatments. This has led to a myriad of “cultural adaptations” for a variety of populations to increase engagement and cultural congruency. One specific area of interest is increased adaptation of services provided for American Indian/ Alaska Native populations, specifically American Indian / Alaska Native children.

The Key to Indian Country

(Victor I. Vieth, JD and Michael Johnson, BSCJ)

In the years we have traveled the country, even the world, working with front line child protection professionals, we have been moved repeatedly by the efforts of those who give their lives to children who are not their own. The experiences of front line professionals have deeply influenced our own teaching and writing, and we are convinced that these experiences must play a greater role in the work of all who address child abuse at a national, regional, or state level.


La clave al país indio

(Victor I. Vieth, JD, Michael Johnson, BSCJ)

Durante los años en que viajamos por el país, aún por el mundo, el trabajo con los profesionales en primera línea de bienestar infantil, hemos sido conmovidos por los esfuerzos de aquéllos que se dedican a la protección infantil de niños que no son suyos. Las experiencias de los profesionales en primera línea han influido profundamente en nuestra enseñanza y escritura, y estamos convencidos que estas experiencias deben hacer un mejor papel en el trabajo de todos que abordan el maltrato infantil al nivel nacional, regional o estatal.
