Disproportionality in Human Services A Broad View of Disparities Faced by American Indian and Alaskan Native Children in Human Services Opening Prayer Welcome Audience Announce Topic Introduction of Presenters Terry Cross, MSW, National Indian Child Welfare Association

CHILD WELL-BEING (SAMPLE ITEMS) Insert table

TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE TO NEEDY FAMILIES (CDF, 2001) 1.3% were Native American (under represented)

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH (CMHS, 2003) American Indians/Alaska Natives Alcohol-related deaths among Native Americans ages 15-24 are 17 times higher than the national averages The suicide rate for Native American youth is three times the national average Only one trained mental health provider for every 17,000 Indian Children (Georgetown, 1996)

JUVENILE JUSTICE American Indian youth are represented at 2.4 times the rate of Whites in state and federal juvenile justice systems and in secure confinement (DOJ, 1999) Incarcerated Indian youth are much more likely to be subjected to the harshest treatment in the most restrictive environments (Pepper spray, restraint, isolation and death while in confinement appear to be grossly and disproportionately applied to Indian youth) (YLC, 2003)

THEORIES OF DISPROPORTIONATE MINORITY REPRESENTATION View I: “Disproportionate Need” Poverty American Indian/Alaska Native: 35% in poverty (rural 45%) African American: 30% (rural 46%) Hispanic: 28% (rural 41%) Asian-Pacific Islander: 12% (unknown) White: 10% (rural 12%)

THEORIES OF DISPROPORTIONATE MINORITY REPRESENTATION Link Between Poverty and Maltreatment Families with incomes under $15,000 are 26.5 times more likely to have a substantiated incidence of maltreatment Neglect incidents are three times that of abuse (NIS-3)

THEORIES OF DISPROPORTIONATE MINORITY REPRESENTATION Differential treatment: Investigation and Substantiation Indian children are victims of maltreatment at about the same rate as other children nationally, however, they: Are substantiated as maltreated twice as often as white children Experience placement 3 times as often (CWLA, 2003)

THEORIES OF DISPROPORTIONATE MINORITY REPRESENTATION View II: Bias and Child Welfare Decision Making Differential treatment: Service Choices All children of color are less likely to receive family preservation Families of color are less likely to receive mental health, substance abuse or supportive services Families of color are less likely to receive reunification services Resource families of color are less likely to receive help to adopt

Maltreatment Decision Path: White Children 100 Reported 25 Substantiated 8 Placed

Decision Path to Disparity American Indian Children 100 Reported 50 Substantiated 25 Placed Juvenile delinquency risk for Indian children increases

LINKING MALTREATMENT, PLACEMENT, DELINQUENCY AND MENTAL HEALTH Victims of maltreatment have delinquency rates an average of 47% higher than non-victims 16% of children placed in substitute care experience at least one delinquency petition compared to 7% of victims not removed from their families Placement instability further increases risk for delinquency One in five juvenile offenders have an untreated SED (CWLA,2003)

Potential Answers Research to better understand the problems and the dynamics that cause them Reduction of poverty Community based services that are child centered and family driven. Cultural competence among professionals, organizations and systems Developing policies that support good practice and outcomes.

Organizational Cultural Competence “A set of congruent practice skills, attitudes, policies, and structures, which come together in a system, agency or among professionals and enable that system, agency or those professionals to work effectively in the context of cultural differences. ”

Elements of Cultural Competence Awareness and acceptance of difference Awareness of own cultural values Understanding the “dynamics of difference” Development of cultural knowledge Ability to adapt practice to fit the cultural context of the family (Cross, 1989) The heart of the disparity issue.

Cultural Competence Continuum (Cross, 1989) Culturally Destructive Cultural Incapacity Cultural Blindness Pre-Competence Basic Cultural Competence Cultural Proficiency “Somewhere between cultural incapacity and basic cultural competence lie the roots of disparity.”

Why are we here today? It’s all about having healthy, happy children and families.… It’s all about…having healthy, happy Indian children and families
