About Tilixam Services

Tilixam Services, LLC—named from the Chinuk Wawa word for “family”—is a culturally grounded research and training organization committed to strengthening systems that serve children, families, and communities. Our work centers Indigenous values, relational practice, and community-defined knowledge to support meaningful, sustainable change.

Our Services

Tailored research, evaluation, and training rooted in community values.

Research

We conduct in-depth research designed to honor Indigenous perspectives while upholding the highest standards of data integrity. Our approach centers community voice, relational accountability, and culturally grounded methods to ensure findings are both meaningful and actionable.

Evaluation

We conduct comprehensive program assessments that respect cultural context and align with community-defined goals. Our approach integrates culturally responsive methods with rigorous evaluation practices to generate findings that are meaningful, actionable, and supportive of continuous improvement.

Tilixam’s training and implementation services bridge evidence-based practice with Indigenous ways of knowing. We provide culturally adapted Motivational Interviewing (MI) training and implementation systems, culturally responsive workforce development for child welfare agencies, schools, healthcare systems, and government organizations, and targeted training to support youth transitioning from school to career pathways. Anchored in the Native American Family Engagement model, our training emphasizes practical skill-building, relational engagement, and the development of local leadership capacity.
