Presented by Dr. Terry Cross
The Grandfamilies & Kinship Support Network hosted a webinar on May 10, 2023 with Dr. Terry Cross, where he provided a brief review of collaboration: what it is, why to collaborate, and how it can be successfully accomplished. He focused on specific strategies for tribal programs wishing to engage in collaborative services. In addition, Dr. Cross addressed how government or private organizations can best prepare for collaboration with tribes. An example of collaboration principles designed to ensure equitable and respectful collaborative work will be presented. Explore what this example teaches us about cross-cultural and cross-jurisdiction collaboration and discover key concepts. Learn about several building blocks for preparing for collaborative ventures and discuss several issues to consider when developing, implementing, managing, or evaluating collaborative efforts.
