The White Earth Coordination Assessment Resources Education (WECARE) is a coordinated system of care that provides a holistic and effective way to link individuals and families on or near the reservation to the services they need using a client-centered approach. WECARE strengthens connections between primary care, home health, education, behavioral health, early childhood programs, and human services through a culturally grounded approach. WECARE is grounded in a two-generation (2Gen) approach that does not focus exclusively on either children or adults, but the family unit. The 2Gen approach aims to connect families to services which will assist them in obtaining their goals while implementing cultural strategies.
