Children and Family Futures also operates a wholly owned For-Profit small business called Center for Children and Family Futures. We have over two decades of experience in practice, policy, and evaluation arenas to support tribes, states, regions, and communities in their efforts to improve outcomes for children and families. We believe parents with mental health and substance use disorders should maintain hope of achieving recovery and family stability so they can care for their children. While no single system or agency working by itself can help parents achieve that goal, we recognize that recovery happens within the context of the family and professionals from a variety of agencies and systems must work together to meet the needs of families.

Register now! This webinar is the second in a series on Tribal Domestic Violence Courts/Dockets. The topics covered will lead to a resource manual for tribes. This webinar will focus on the history of domestic violence courts/dockets and will underscore the critical importance of the key principles guiding a domestic violence court and/or docket. This webinar will discuss the role tribal custom and tradition can play in developing key principles and in developing the court structure. The holistic approach to victim safety and batterer accountability will be explored through a multi-disciplinary lens, which is a hallmark of the domestic violence court model. Tribal domestic violence courts are specialized courts with targeted caseloads consisting of domestic violence cases. Tribal domestic violence courts are comprised of personnel who are well trained in the dynamics of domestic violence and committed to working collaboratively among various victim service providers/systems to meet the needs of the family. Additionally, these courts focus on victim safety and batterer accountability by closely monitoring batterer compliance with court orders. Tribal domestic violence docket days are characterized by setting aside specific days of the tribal court's docket to address cases involving domestic violence. Devoting certain days of the docket to domestic violence cases may allow continuity for the victim, and allows the tribal court to address related civil and criminal matters on the same day. It also allows the court to offer enhanced security, advocacy services, and child care for domestic violence victims. The Tribal Law and Policy Institute has a new online resource focused on Tribal Domestic Violence Courts/Dockets. The webpage is devoted to providing information on tribal domestic violence courts and tribal domestic dockets. It also provides information on related resources such as: non-tribal specific domestic violence courts/dockets; domestic violence resources; and other TLPI publications and resources. Some of these resources include the Tribal Domestic Violence COURT Fact Sheet and Tribal Domestic Violence DOCKETS Fact Sheet. This product was supported by Grant No. 2016-TA-AX-K006 awarded by the Office on Violence Against Women, U.S. Department of Justice.

A year and half ago, Gabe Stewart stood in tribal court pleading guilty to felony charges because he stole money from his family to support his opioid addiction. In January, his community honored him for overcoming addiction and watched as his case was dismissed entirely. Stewart is a member of the Penobscot Nation in Maine, a state hit hard by the opioid crisis. American indigenous communities like his are also some of the hardest hit, with overdose deaths for rural American Indians and Alaska Natives rising by 519 percent between 1999 and 2015, more than double the increase nationally. When Stewart faced felony charges related to his addiction to Percocet, he was able to benefit from his tribe's unique approach to addiction. Recognizing that issues with substance abuse in native communities often arise from intergenerational trauma, the Penobscot Nation attempts to reacquaint criminal drug offenders with tribal traditions and cultural practices to help them make a full recovery. Tribal members who commit substance abuse-related crimes can enter a program called the Healing to Wellness Court, which operates something like a traditional drug court but offers a cultural curriculum. Participants receive services such as counseling, assistance with housing, regular drug tests, and check-ins with the court's case manager. The 15 staff service providers meet bi-monthly to discuss the progress of each participant, a coordination feat seldom found in larger drug court systems. State-run drug courts do offer some similar services, but what makes the Healing to Wellness Court unique is the integration of Penobscot traditions and rituals into the program. Guided by cultural advisers, participants are required to take part in activities that include sweetgrass picking, basket making, and sweat lodge ceremonies that offer both healing and spiritual benefits. Because addiction can lead to isolation from the larger community, these cultural activities allow offenders an opportunity to reconnect with the community and embrace their identity. VICE News followed Stewart on his last day in the Healing to Wellness Court.

The National Institute of Justice has released a Tribal-Researcher Capacity Building Grant. This planning grant offers a unique opportunity to develop innovative research in the Wellness Court field! Do you have interest in pursuing a criminal justice research project in your community? For example, how has substance abuse affected your community? How does your Wellness Court serve its target population? How effective are culturally-tailored treatments? The grant encourages a tribal-research partnership. We're looking to support your work and to bolster the entire Wellness Court community through research that is Indian country-focused. In addition to the Tribe, the partnership could include the Tribal Law & Policy Institute and the research partner, Justice Programs Office (JPO), to offer logistical support and research expertise for the research goals of the Tribe. JPO, a center at the School of Public Affairs at American University, houses the National Drug Court Resource Center and works with research faculty on wide array of justice topics. JPO's Research Director has extensive experience working closely with practitioners and difficult to access communities and subpopulations to develop community-driven research and resolutions. Examples of her most recent community-based planning and research include rural gang violence and rural veteran suicide prevention. The tribal community does not need existing data; the tribe only needs an interest in understanding a topic of their choice through a research partnership. The purpose of the planning grant is to fund a tribal-researcher partnership that will then develop a research project. The research project could then be funded through an implementation grant. Broad examples of tribal interests include, but are not limited to: * Alcohol and other substance use, abuse, and addiction * Tribal healing to wellness courts * Tribal justice for youth and/or adults * Understanding crime and criminal offending * Crime intervention and prevention strategies * Violent crime reduction * Victimization (reduction or response) * Human trafficking * Technology to improve justice Interested parties should contact me directly at pmenon at american.edu to meet with the research partner to discuss the tribe's interests, goals, and questions.

Five-Year Report NCAI released a new report summarizing the first five years of tribal government expanded criminal jurisdiction over non-Indians under the tribal provisions of the 2013 reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA 2013). VAWA 2013 created a framework for tribal courts to prosecute non-Indians who commit domestic or dating violence against Indian victims on tribal lands?something that has not happened in 35 years, since Oliphant v. Suquamish Tribe. NCAI worked closely with the 18 tribal nations who exercised this expanded jurisdiction. These tribes report 143 arrests and 74 convictions of 128 different non-Indian abusers. VAWA 2013 allowed tribes to finally prosecute these long-time abusers who previously had evaded justice, and provide increased safety and justice for victims who previously had little of either. The report documents how committed each tribe has been to successfully implementing VAWA and ensuring effective administration of justice in their communities. Not only do non-Indian offenders receive a fair day in court, but many tribes include broader resources aligned with cultural values for community wellness to ensure that these defendants receive help and support. The report highlights specific examples and makes a series of findings regarding these early successes as well as the challenges for implementing tribes.

However, they anticipate keeping the solicitation open for only 30-45 days.
