Positive Indian Parenting train-the-trainer opportunities

Positive Indian Parenting (PIP) is an eight-week curriculum, developed by the National Indian Child Welfare Association, which provides practical and culturally specific training for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) parents. The training helps parents explore the values and attitudes expressed in traditional AI/AN child-rearing practices and apply them to modern parenting. 

Train-the-trainer trainings are designed to prepare facilitators to educate and support native parents using the PIP curriculum. Participants will receive instructional materials for eight sessions. Continuing Education Unit (CEU) credits are available.

Upcoming trainings: 

  • January 13-16, 2025, 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. (Virtual) 
  • March 3-6, 2025, 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. (Virtual) 
  • May 20-22, 2025, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (Puyallup, WA)
