Indian Child Welfare Act Program
Domestic Violence Program
Clients seeking treatment at Nakenu Family Center have the benefit of comprehensive assessments, treatment recommendations formulated toward the individual's needs, and support services to assist in successful outcomes. Tribal Advocacy staff provide family support and preservation, parenting skills classes, and assist Tribal and State Courts in protecting the next generation of Native children. Incorporated within clinical services are culturally relevant experiential activities such as traditional arts and crafts, fishing, Heartbeat of Mother Earth adult drum, and talking circles.
Our staff is proud to be recognized within the State of Alaska as an effective and efficient treatment facility. In 2006, one State official is quoted as saying:
"You and your agency have achieved the highest onsite scores of any of the other agencies... It takes a lot of commitment, energy and hard work to get scores that high! I always liked the positive attitude Nakenu staff demonstrated toward their patients and the treatment provided appeared to be of good quality, but now I have a report from Program Integrity to back me up!"
