This curriculum was developed by a Native
American father to enable parents to
strengthen character and integrity by
progressively building upon proven and
motivating principles of Native American
heritage. Participants gain a deeper
understanding of how to strengthen and unite
families through responsible fatherhood and
motherhood. The program creates a link
between past and present generations.

The Fatherhood/Motherhood is Sacred
curriculum is copyrighted. Facilitators are
trained and agencies are certified by NAFFA,
allowing them to implement the program.
NAFFA also offers individual certification for
independent facilitators. The curriculum is
culturally sensitive and offers a solid
foundation on which to build a successful
relationship with children, family and
community.

A unique element of this program is the
strong evaluation component available to
certified facilitators and agencies. The three
evaluation elements include a pre-test, a
post-test and a six month follow-up.

Alternatives to Incarceration

Studies by leading criminal justice
researchers have shown that high-quality
alternative programs can successfully treat
and assist people without compromising the
safety of the community. We are partnering
with nationally recognized organizations
experienced in the criminal justice system
and developing evaluation protocols to
create a culturally sound and relevant
Alternative to Incarceration (ATI) program
which can be customized to meet the needs
of individual reservations and communities.
This program will offer the opportunity for
substantial financial savings, and the
potential to assist participants in becoming
strong, healthy members of their families
and communities.

ATI will be built on the framework of our
highly effective and successful curriculum
Fatherhood/Motherhood is Sacred ,, using a
problem-solving court structure. Pilot
programs will start on two reservations in
the fall of 2009. If you have any questions
or would like more information on this
program, please Contact Us.

Quality
Training
That
Counts!

In recent years, family service programs in
Native American communities have focused
primarily on the needs of women and children.
Little attention has been paid to the unique
needs of men as they struggle to become
valuable family participants.
This one-day, forum brings community
members, leaders and agencies together to
develop a shared vision of the importance of
engaging fathers in order to address the
problems present in our communities. Through
this discussion, communities are inspired to
establish effective fatherhood programs to
enhance responsible fatherhood and strengthen
families.

This presentation is fully customizable to meet
the needs of your community.

Technical Assistance is also available to
guide agencies in establishing local
Fathers' Resource Centers.
