Family Services
The department of family services is designed to facilitate the formulation of new skills for addressing family related issues within the tribe.  The goal is to strengthen the family unit and decrease the incidence of divorce, infidelity, violence and other related issues that undermine the family structure.  The department utilizes a group approach to skill building, which allows for maximum utilization of available resources and incorporates the wisdom and support of its members into the skill building process.  Group facilitators adhere to our Native American culture, making the dignity and privacy of each participant and their family, of utmost importance.  The department of family services offers groups addressing:

  • Fatherhood
  • Single parent support
  • Prevention Relationship Enhancement Program (PREP) training
  • Additional services available through the department are:
    • Family and marital therapy
    • Divorce recovery group
    • Family and marital counseling is offered at the Chickasaw Nation Youth and Family Services building in Ada, the Purcell Area Office, and Oklahoma City.

Abstinence Education and Training
Abstinence is the only 100% effective method of birth control and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. Abstinence education is offered through area schools as well as through numerous youth development groups. Parents are provided with a curriculum designed to assist their efforts at promoting abstinence among their teens.
