NAFI Rhode Island
NAFI Rhode Island (NAFI RI) is a multi-service agency that provides programming, consultation, and individualized support services to youth, families, and adults in a variety of settings across Rhode Island. Our core services include Behavioral Health & Wellness Programs, Family Strengthening & In-Home Programs, Group Homes and Residential Programs; Developmental Services; and Foster Care.
Purpose
NAFI RI is a leading nonprofit human services organization with a rich history of developing and delivering results-driven programs that positively impact the lives of children, families, and communities. NAFI first began operations in Rhode Island in 1989 with the opening of a single community based treatment program for justice-involved youth. In thirty-five years of operation, NAFI RI has grown into a multi-service agency boasting a well-coordinated network of programs across five primary divisions including: Behavioral Health & Wellness Programs that provide compassionate and comprehensive treatment for a variety of behavioral, emotional, and mental health needs; Family Strengthening & In-Home Programs including many evidence-based models focused on preserving families, decreasing parental stress, and reducing family conflict; Group Homes and Residential Programs that provide supportive, home-like environments for young adults to practice new possibilities with the support of 24-hour staff; Foster Care Services aimed at helping children and adolescents achieve permanency; and Developmental Services for youth and adults working towards greater independence.
In 2019, NAFI Rhode Island joined with NAFI Connecticut and NAFI New York to form the Tri-State Alliance. Today, the Alliance employs more than 300 professionals and impacts the lives of over 1,500 children, adults, and families each year across its continuum of care.
