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.

“Grace is a 19 year old mother of one child. Upon entering the Oshkinigiikwe program, she was using drugs, unemployed, living in an abusive situation. She was also overwhelmed by being a parent and reached out to us for help. Within five months of MIWRC programming, she has stopped using all drugs, learned new parenting skills, found her own apartment, and ended the abusive relationship. She is currently looking for full time work and continues to enjoy learning about her Ojbiwe culture, which she credits for helping her turn her life around. ”
