Social Services
The PBP Nation created the social services program in June 1999. The department is responsible for providing services that promote family unity with the goal of attaining individual and family self-sufficiency. Services within the department include Adult Protective Services, Child Protective Services, Foster Care Services, Family Preservation, Vocational Rehabilitation Services Department, Family Violence Prevention, services for crime victims, Alcohol and Drug Treatment Services, and an Independent Living Office from Three Rivers. The department monitors the well-being of all Prairie Band Potawatomi children, both those in and those outside of state custody under ICWA (Indian Child Welfare Act). As with all programs, the social services department must prioritize its provision of services. The program continues to strongly advocate for the welfare of the most vulnerable members of the tribe, the children and elders. Services are available on the reservation and for the counties surrounding Jackson County. For additional information, please call 785-966-8330 or fax 785-966-2950.
