More Testimonials ...

At the heart of Native American culture is the oldest and most important institution
- the family. The Native American Fatherhood & Families Association (NAFFA)
created and designed its programs specifically for Native American fathers and
mothers to strengthen Native families through responsible parenting. Cherishing
all family members, making them feel welcome, wanted and special, must be a
priority everyday.

NAFFA defines the purpose of life as “to have a happy and safe family.” This
simple definition creates a common vision, which moves us all in the same
direction with the same goals. When men and women accept and embrace this
vision, it motivates them to become better parents.

Having a Happy and Safe Family is the Real Test of Life!

NAFFA provides training, information,
technical assistance, consultation and
support to tribes, agencies and community
organizations (i.e. TANF, Head Start,
Behavioral Health, Social Services, and
Corrections).

Our services are offered at your location
or our offices in Mesa, Arizona. Assistance
with planning, developing and
implementing our successful and effective
programs are available by trained NAFFA
staff.
