KWON's COMMUNITY CONNECTION on Friday welcomed Lori Rose and Alyssa Emert with the Delaware Tribe of Indians to our studios.
 
Lori Rose is an advocate for Families and Children with the tribe. Lori said, "The Delaware Tribe of Indians advocates for safe and stable families and holds our children as our greatest asset. We strive to continue to serve Delaware Tribal families beyond our immediate service area, promoting a holistic approach to encourage mental, physical, and economic well-being."
 
Delaware Tribe provides services in support of five purposes which are:
 
  • Protecting and promoting the welfare of all Delaware children.
  • Preventing the neglect, abuse, or exploitation of children.
  •  
  • Supporting at-risk families through services which allow children, where appropriate, to remain safely with their families or return to their families in a timely manner.
  •  
  • Promoting the safety, permanence, and well-being of children in foster care and adoptive families.
  • Providing training, professional development and support to ensure a well-qualified child welfare workforce.
  • CW is funded by both federal and state grants. We work closely with tribal and state authorities to protect our Indian children. All information is strictly confidential according to federal laws.
