New Reports and Resources March 09

Posted on Mar 06, 2009

A few really good reports and resources came out this month.

1. The March issue of Children’s Bureau Express is focused on working with Tribes.
The “Children’s Bureau Express” is the digital information tool of the federal Administration for Children & Families (Department of Health and Human Services).

2. The Michigan Child Welfare Law Journal has a very good piece on when ICWA is triggered in youth delinquency cases in MI. Article is very clear with good legislative history, and good interaction with state court law.  (the article starts on pdf page 13).

3. Not ICWA-specific, but relevant to the work Cal-ICWA is doing on transition-age Indian foster youth is an article on the role of government in supporting foster youth to adulthood:
The Difficult Transition to Adulthood for Foster Youth in the UST: Implications for the State as Corporate Parent, by Courtney, Mark E.
