“…The majority of the cross‐cutting practice and programme dimensions identified in our review, particularly those most consistently identified across studies, align closely with those highlighted in the broader literature on services to Indigenous children, young people and families, including the central importance of relational practices and interventions that support and strengthen connections to culture and cultural identity (Ball & Benoit‐Jansson, 2023; Krakouer, 2023; Krakouer et al, 2018; Ritland et al, 2020; Ullrich, 2019), and collectivist understandings of Indigenous children and young people as inseparable from family, community, and tribal networks (O'Keefe et al, 2022). At the programme level, the broader literature also supports our findings regarding the importance of services grounded in Indigenous knowledges (O'Keefe et al, 2022), of robust and trusting partnerships between Indigenous and mainstream and other agencies (Lewis et al, 2023a,b; Jongen et al, 2022), and of policies and practices that honour Indigenous rights, including the fundamental right to self‐determination (Cleland, 2022).…”

National and state governments in settler colonial countries are increasingly committing to policies and practices aimed at strengthening Indigenous frameworks, programmes and leadership in child protection services. However, research‐based information on Indigenous child welfare services and programmes is sparse. This qualitative literature review explores and documents key features of Indigenous child welfare and protection models and/or frameworks in an international context, with a specific focus on Indigenous children, young people, families, and communities. Twenty‐four publications meeting the inclusion criteria were included in the analysis. Published frameworks, models, services, interventions and/or programmes within the broader area of child welfare and children protection that are Indigenous‐designed and/or led or developed in partnership or collaboration with Indigenous peoples were identified. The review highlights 11 key dimensions that underpin the frameworks, models, services, interventions and/or programmes. Findings of the review also reveal commonalities across Indigenous cultures and contexts that from an Indigenous perspective are considered fundamental to supporting Indigenous children, young people and families involved with child protective services. Additionally, the findings point to the critical need for ongoing advocacy for Indigenous‐designed and led services and programmes, including support for Indigenous research, evaluation and intellectual leadership.

“…These tragic revelations are currently reverberating in Indigenous communities and likely contributing to the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on people who live with OUD and their families. These triggers highlight the need for culturally and familybased healing approaches that respond to the complex trauma that people with OUD may have experienced as the multi-generational consequences of colonial policies (Brave Heart et al, 2011;Fiedeldey-Van Dijk et al, 2017;Pomerville & Gone, 2019;Restoule et al, 2015;Ritland et al, 2020;Rowan et al, 2014). Colonial policies have facilitated multi-generational mental, physical, and sexual abuse in residential and day schools, which are the root causes of high addictions rates today (Dell et al, 2011;Health Canada, 2015;Marsh et al, 2015).…”

The opioid crisis is disproportionately impacting Indigenous communities in Canada. There is a need to evaluate practical approaches to recovery that include community-based opioid agonist treatment (OAT) and integration of cultural treatment models. Naandwe Miikan, translated as The Healing Path, is an OAT program that blends clinical and Indigenous healing concepts and providers in a community-based setting. Aside from OAT pharmaceutical treatment, clients work with Indigenous counsellors that integrate culture with treatment, such as land-based activities, that reconnect the community to Indigenous teachings and harvesting. In this paper, we present a case study showcasing community advocacy in creating innovative funding models and engaging with clinicians to provide a shared care OAT model with traditional Indigenous counselling, cultural programs, and data sovereignty. Policy needs are identified.

“…During these experiences, families frequently use learning strategies effectively and individualized to their child's unique development (Bronfenbrenner, 1993;Dunst et al, 2012a). Home-based early intervention (EI) for families with infants/toddlers with delays or disabilities, as well as other home visiting programs, maximize their impact on positive child outcomes by focusing on families' effective use of learning strategies within everyday family life (Brown and Woods, 2015;Dunst et al, 2014aDunst et al, , 2014bInnocenti et al, 2013;Khetani et al, 2013;Kong and Carta, 2013;Movahedazarhouligh, 2021;Ritland et al, 2020;Salisbury et al, 2018;Schertz and Horn, 2017).…”

Identifying family strengths is central to early childhood practices. Moving beyond identification to exploring and explicitly applying those strengths can evolve strengths-based and family capacity-building practices. Assessment and planning processes that focus on the strategies families use to help their child learn can give agency to families in this parenting role. This exploratory study examined the perspectives of seven families who participated in an early intervention assessment-to-planning approach that sought to uncover, understand, and utilize the strategies families used to help their child learn and their appraisals of those strategies. Family responses during qualitative interviews were analyzed into three themes: (1) naturalistic observations yield naturalistic understandings, (2) practices that honor family strengths and family fit, and (3) self-discovery and self-affirmation. Implications for evolving family capacity-building approaches are discussed.
