Family Services
About Our Work with Families
PWI's Family Support Services are designed to facilitate safety and stability for Oregon Department of Human Services Child Welfare involved families. Our intention is to support parents so that their children are able to remain safely in the home and out of the foster care system. We attempt to connect families to community resources so that they can move beyond crisis and into a more balanced and secure home life. Our approach aims to work in collaboration to build upon strengths so that they are able to achieve their goals in parenting.

Relationships in Parenting
Families will work to cultivate relationships that are rich with authenticity and trust. Parents will strive to understand the lifelong impact of healthy connections on the successful development of their children.
Parenting in Communities
