Parrott Creek Ranch is a 24/7 residential program for teen boys, ages 14-18. These boys have had many experiences with the juvenile justice system, and determined they need more intensive, residential treatment in order to be successful. The boys receive individual and group counseling, alcohol/substance abuse treatment when necessary, as well as individual and group skill building. They attend our alternative high school run in cooperation with the Canby School District, and get on track to graduate or receive their GED. We work with the teens and their families to make sure they are getting the help they need to be successful in the future. This program is highly effective according to evaluations by independent sources. To watch the complete Parrot Creek video introduction, click here.
Shelter Care is a 60-90 day, short-term residential program for boys age 14-18. Boys usually come in the midst of a family or other crisis situation, and the goal is to stabilize the situation, assess their needs, and transition to healthier lives. An evaluation of the youth, the family home setting, readiness for treatment, and appropriate community supports occurs during the 60 to 90 day out of home placement. In the future, we’d very much like to be able to serve girls as well. Building a second dormitory for the girls is the required component to make this a reality.
Respite Care is a short term (10 days) out of home placement for a youth in crisis where the primary focus is to stabilize a youth’s behavior, provide crisis intervention and prepare the youth and his/her family with a transition plan for the youth’s return home or to the next placement.
Youth Diversion is a program where youth who have broken the law for the first time appear before a Community Accountability Panel, rather than a juvenile court officer, to tailor consequences to hold them accountable for their actions and develop skills that keep them from making the same mistake again. This is a highly effective program serving 500 boys and girls in the communities of Lake Oswego, Gladstone, West Linn, Milwaukie, Oregon City and Canby.
Lifeguards is a community based treatment program for youth ages 12-18 who have exhibited inappropriate sexual behaviors. The youth participate in individual, family and group therapy sessions; all working together to provide a holistic approach to treatment and to prevent further offenses.
