Offering Legal Guidance as a Healing Tool after Termination of Parental Rights

Description
How can legal guidance help empower and heal after a mother's parental rights have been terminated? Participants in this session will learn how a community partnership between Bellis and the Institute to Transform Child Protection offers local, weekly support to mothers seeking answers to painful questions as they grieve. If your clients leave the child welfare and court system with legal uncertainty, you'll want to learn about this resource.

42nd Annual Protecting Our Children Conference

Each year, the National Indian Child Welfare Association (NICWA) hosts the largest national gathering on American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) child advocacy issues. With over 1,600 attendees—and growing every year—this three-day conference has become the premiere national event addressing tribal child welfare and well-being. Keynote speakers range from federal officials at the highest level of government to youth with lived experience in child welfare systems.
Bellis’ breakout session details will be available soon. Please check back.
New this year! For those who can’t make it to Seattle, we have a virtual option. All three of our amazing general sessions with over a dozen wonderful speakers will be broadcast virtually. If you can’t make it in person, consider being a virtual attendee.
NICWA provides meaningful programming to conference attendees, creating a space where participants can learn about the latest developments and best practices from experts in the field and from one another. Participants represent a cross-section of fields and interests, including child welfare, mental health, and juvenile justice service providers; legal professionals; students; advocates for children; and tribal, state, and federal leaders.
