Department of Indian Work-Interfaith Action: "Culture Should Lead Us On." Integrated Services Delivery Network Program Development Research Findings

The Department of Indian Work–Interfaith Action partnered with Wilder Research to conduct program development research centered on developing an Integrated Services Delivery Network (ISDN) for the American Indian community in the Twin Cities. An ISDN is a collective impact approach to helping families living on low income achieve their goals through the seamless coordination of supports from multiple human services organizations. To provide useful insights for the purposes of developing the ISDN, Wilder conducted a literature review about decolonizing human services and conducted a focus group with American Indian people living in the Twin Cities about the kind of support that would be most beneficial to them.
