This November, we honor Native American and Alaska Native Heritage Month by recognizing the strength of Tribal Nations, the importance of cultural identity, and the traditions and knowledge passed down through generations. These connections help strengthen Native children, families, and communities.
November is National Family Caregivers Month! This year’s theme, “Care Connects Us,” recognizes the dedication of family caregivers and the meaningful connections they create through compassion, support, and care for their loved ones.

Building and Sustaining the Tribal Child Welfare Workforce: Introducing the Workforce Development Learning Community
Save the Date for Tuesday, November 17th 2026
2 pm ET | 1 pm CT | 12 pm MT | 11 am PT |10 am AT
Join us for a 60-minute introductory webinar to learn about the Tribal Child Welfare Workforce Development Learning Community, an upcoming opportunity for Tribal child welfare professionals to connect with peers, share experiences, and explore practical approaches to workforce development.
The Learning Community will provide a space for participants to learn from one another about topics such as recruitment, onboarding, supervision, retention, staff wellbeing, leadership development, and organizational stability. Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach, the group will center the experiences, priorities, and knowledge of Tribal child welfare programs. During the introductory webinar, attendees will have an opportunity to share their preferences for how often the Learning Community meets and help shape its meeting schedule.
Tools from Tribes is a growing, living library of practical resources created by and for Tribal child welfare professionals. It’s a space where programs can practice reciprocity—offering tools they’ve developed and benefitting from the shared wisdom of others across Indian Country. Whether navigating reporting requirements, launching a prevention program, or supporting your team’s well-being, these tools reflect real-world Tribal experience and culturally grounded practice. Each submission is a reminder that no one is alone in this work—we are stronger when we learn from each other.
