KIKINO

The Kikino program is one based on a house parent model. In doing so, a stable environment and effective therapeutic milieu has been developed for the successful rearing of 6 kids between the ages of 4 and 15 years old. With the goal in mind of keeping youth and families together when it's safe to do so, the Kikino team ensures that each child stays connected to their culture and members within their cultural community that are important to their upbringing. Our professional team members are positive role models and advocates who are nurturing and respectful of youth, their individual developmental needs, their families and their culture. Our team members are also well versed in trauma informed practice so as to best care for and nurture youth who have experienced trauma in their lives. In particular, our Team strives to promote healthy attachment, physical and intellectual development, and social and emotional health through the development of positive and supportive relationships ​
