The Children

Children who can benefit from the Namaste program typically experience multiple problems at home, at school, and in the community. These problems can include:

  • Lack of emotional bonds with family and peers.
  • Problems adjusting to home, neighborhood, or school.
  • History of running away from home.
  • Resistance to adult care.
  • Lack of respect for the rights of others.
  • Impaired communication skills.
  • Physically and verbally aggressive behavior.
  • Long-standing childhood depression.
  • Inability to take responsibility for their actions.
  • Diagnosed as SED, SEBD, or NBD.

Namaste is licensed to provide services to children ages 0-18. Whenever therapeutically indicated, we request and support the participation of biological or adoptive families in the treatment process.
