What we do

Our Native Family Services team works to equip families of all kinds to meet the individual, cultural and spiritual needs of Native American children in foster care. Whether it looks like providing cultural connection opportunities or offering trauma-informed training and resources, we’re here to walk alongside you and ensure you have all you need to love these kids well.

Who We Serve

Children from Native communities carry rich cultural identities and deep community ties. The families who care for them deserve support that honors both.

Child welfare for Native communities doesn’t always fall into a single, well-defined category. That’s why Child Bridge is here to support ALL types of families who care for these precious kids.

Native Families

Those who step up to care for children in their communities who need safety and stability, for a season or forever.

You play a crucial role in bringing healing and hope to this generation and the next. We are here to equip you for the road ahead with trauma education, resources and more.

Non-Native Families

Those who choose to stand in the gap for hurting children with a background different from your own.

As you step into unknown territory, we’ll provide cultural training and support as you work to keep these kids connected to their heritage while meeting their individual needs.

Kinship Families

Extended family members or close friends who step up to care for children, either for a season or permanently.

We are committed to helping you keep your kids connected to their world while navigating the unique relationships and challenges that come with kinship care.

Community Partners

Members of a child’s broader community who aim to help support vulnerable children and their families.

Whether you are providing childcare, offering additional resources, host cultural connection opportunities or give financially to causes that do, we’re here to help you help these kids.
