Please join us on July 29 from 11:00-12:30 Mountain Time for the first in a series of webinars developed by the National Native Children’s Trauma Center on the topic of “Trauma-Informed Tribal Community Development.”
This first webinar, moderated by the NNCTC’s Community Development Advisor Fred Fisher, will feature the NNCTC’s Senior Director of Policy and Programs, Marilyn Zimmerman, in conversation with Miriam Jorgensen, Research Director at the University of Arizona’s Native Nations Institute, and Patrice Kunesh, Development Officer at the Native American Rights Fund and Founder/Director of Peȟiŋ Haha Consulting.
Dr. Zimmerman will talk about the development of trauma-informed awareness and systems change in Indian Country, and Dr. Jorgensen and Ms. Kunesh will share their experiences—including research findings, tribal policy developments, and case examples—of the positive role that tribal community and economic development can play in improving outcomes for American Indian and Alaska Native families and children. Our speakers will also share their views on the opportunities currently available to tribal nations in the American Rescue Plan.
