Family Spirit Program Overview

Since 1995, CIH has worked with Tribal communities to develop, evaluate, and disseminate the Family Spirit Program. Family Spirit is an evidence-based and culturally tailored home-visiting intervention delivered by Native American paraprofessionals as an Indigenous solution to supporting Native parents from pregnancy through early childhood. The Family Spirit Core Curriculum consists of 63 lessons taught from pregnancy to age 3. Additional curriculum modules address emerging needs and specific family circumstances. The Family Spirit Program is currently being used at community sites around the United States, with training and technical assistance provided by the Family Spirit National Office. The Family Spirit National Office is staffed by a team of CIH faculty and staff. More information about Family Spirit can be found here: Family Spirit Home Visiting Program - Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health (jhu.edu)


Family Spirit LEGO Project Overview

In December 2022 CIH was named a top international winner of the LEGO Foundation Build a World of Play Challenge, a global initiative to fund bold, innovative and impactful solutions focused on early childhood. CIH received a 5-year, $28M grant to work with global partners to expand Family Spirit to 20 new sites in Indigenous communities in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand as well as create Indigenous-designed community play spaces in those locations. The 5-year implementation phase of this project began in July 2023. More information about this grant can be found here: The Build A World of Play Challenge (learningthroughplay.com)
