NAFI has been at the forefront of movements to empower disenfranchised youth since the 1970s when sweeping reforms allowed privatized services to de-institutionalize youth in the juvenile justice system. NAFI became one of the original providers to develop community-based alternatives that created program services based on methods of peer empowerment, group work, accountability for actions and recognition of achievement.

- Diagnostic Assessment

- Family Stabilization
