Minority Youth and Family Initiative for American Indian/Alaskan Native Children (MYFI)

The Minority Youth and Family Initiative for American Indian/Alaskan Native Children (MYFI) uses culturally competent practice approaches consistent with the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) and the utilization of American Indian/Alaskan Native (AI/AN) staff, flexible support funds, and community resources to decreases entry of AI/AN children into the child welfare system and increases reunification with their family of origin, transfer to tribal jurisdiction, and/or placement within relative or tribal networks.
