The relational worldview model was developed by the National Indian Child Welfare Association (NICWA) in the 1980's and continues to be refined in practice by NICWA staff. It is a reflection of the Native thought process and concept of balance as the basis for health, whether that is an individual, family or an organization. The relational worldview model is used by NICWA community development specialists as a framework and process for assessing the technical assistance needs of a community and applying it to a specific technical assistance plan.
