Child & Family Development

Namaste offers services and programs designed for children who have difficulty building trusting relationships and appropriate attachments. It is the vision of Namaste to move children and families from hurt to healing. In order to fulfill our mission and vision, it our goal to become recognized as the best provider of quality attachment based services for children & families in our culturally diverse communities while remaining financially sound.

Namaste’s attachment based programs and services are designed to meet the highly acute needs of children who have problems in social, behavioral and/or emotional functioning. Additionally, Namaste provides support and intervention for the child’s biological or adoptive family and any identified support figures. Namaste provides services to a culturally diverse population of children and their families. The great majority of children come from low income homes and many are in State or Tribal Custody.

Our Treatment Foster Care (TFC) program allows children and families to be helped through services delivered by specially trained treatment foster parents in a licensed TFC home.  The child lives in a community while receiving services and support provided by Namaste, inclusive of, but not limited to, individual and family therapy, respite care, and medication management. A multi-disciplinary team comprised of Namaste Clinicians, Treatment Coordinator, Treatment Foster Parents, Guardian, Parents/Caregivers meet monthly to assess the child’s needs and formulate individualized plans for treatment, discharge and permanency. Our Treatment Coordinators provide intensive supports including teaching, training and coaching children and their families in acquiring, enhancing and maintaining the social and behavioral skills needed to function successfully at home, school and in the community.
