The Learning Center

The Learning Center’s collection of books, periodicals and videos is available to the public. Our database holds a large collection of additional information for students, researchers and interested community members. Fact sheets are created on topics of interest to our families, working professionals and policy makers. Regular workshops and training sessions bring deep insight into topics such as Historic Trauma, Resources for Kinship Caregivers, and other issues. Computers are available for community use and staff are ready to provide assistance with job searches and resume writing.

The Learning Center has created a new strength-based tool for American Indian families where fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) may be present called Native American Parenting Traditions Revisited (NAPTR). This exciting new parenting curriculum provides cultural strengths to help families stay together and maximize learning for FASD impacted children. NAPTR will be available for your community in spring of 2010.

Since that time, she has maintained her sobriety and participates regularly in group and one-on-one activities. Rochelle now has a job at the Native American Community Clinic, is completely self sufficient and feels strong in her new life. She recently graduated from the Healing Journey Program, and is going on to help others heal and rebuild their lives. This is the true spirit of Zhoo-way-nah-dig, taking care of one another.”
