Morrison Child and Family Services provides a comprehensive continuum of mental health, substance abuse and prevention and education services for youth, from birth through age 21. We work with families and communities to make a difference in every child’s life.

Our programs vary in intensity and length of treatment:

Prevention and Education: Providing effective prevention and education services to children, parents or caregivers as early as possible helps ensure success within the family, school and with peers. Their emphasis on prevention and early intervention improves the prospects for many children who might otherwise face expensive therapy, corrections or incarceration.
- Early Childhood Consultation – Multnomah County: Their Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation program provides prevention services, including Child and Family Consultation and Program-Level Consultation, in Multnomah County and the City of Portland. They serve young children, their families, and early care and education staff in early childhood settings that include: Head Start, Early Head Start, childcare centers, and family home childcare providers. They also provide the Incredible Years® Parent Series, a group that supports parents to improve child-rearing practices and strengthen families.
- Listos Para Aprender: Listos Para Aprender is a home visitation, school readiness program providing Latino families with educational home visits, parenting groups, and community resources. Listos conducts developmental screenings to ensure children are on track for their age. The program also provides families with books and other learning materials that will help prepare children for school.
- Parents Anonymous® of Oregon and Parent Mentor Program: Parents Anonymous® is a trauma informed practice utilizing mutual support (the giving and getting of help), parent leadership (seeking solutions and becoming empowered), and shared leadership (working together) to achieve personal growth that improves protective factors, increases family functioning and mitigates and prevents Adverse Childhood Experiences by improving health and mental health well-being of Parents/Caregivers and their Children & Youth. 
- Parents As Teachers: The Parents As Teachers curriculum is taught four times a year in Oregon, and includes a 5-day Foundational and Model Implementation Training. The Foundational and Model Implementation Training is comprised of a 3-day Foundational Training and a 2-day Implementation Training. The 3-day Foundational Training lays the foundation for the Parents as Teachers approach to home visitation within an early childhood system. The 2-day Model Implementation Training builds on Foundational Training and is designed for parent educators and supervisors whose programs meet the requirements for affiliation. 
- The Incredible Years®: The Incredible Years® are weekly parenting groups designed to improve child-rearing decisions and strengthen families. The Incredible Years® groups provides a consistent, family-friendly curriculum that includes meals and childcare for the duration of group meetings.

Foster Care: Morrison's foster care programs provide short-term, respite, transitional, and therapeutic home care for youth in our community, providing support for youth who come from diverse backgrounds and have a wide range of needs.
- Breakthrough Day Treatment & Foster Care: Morrison's Breakthrough Day Treatment program is designed to meet the needs of adolescents who have histories of trauma and drug and/or alcohol abuse. In many cases, the youth also have a history of truancy and gang associations, that resulted in serious trauma. Breakthrough helps youth make the transition to a successful, clean, and sober lifestyle. Their program combines alcohol and drug abuse treatment, mental health treatment, skill development, education, and mentoring in therapeutic foster homes. The program provides youth with intensive treatment to enhance recovery.
- Counterpoint Day Treatment & Foster Care: Our Counterpoint Day Treatment program provides intensive, comprehensive treatment services for boys who have experienced trauma and abuse and who have had sexual behavioral problems. Their services are provided year-round, and youth attend a full day of programming within a therapeutic milieu at an on-site accredited school. The program's goals are to prevent and eliminate any future issues of sexual behavioral problems, to reduce adverse effects from trauma and abuse, and to help the boys acquire pro-social skills to increase successful transitions to the community.
- Therapeutic Foster Care: Therapeutic Foster Care (TFC) provides a safe and nurturing environment with care provided by specially screened foster parents who are trained to work with trauma-impacted youth. Often, youth participating in TFC have suffered severe physical, sexual, and/or emotional trauma. As a result, they experience mental health and behavioral issues that make it difficult for them to cope with daily routines and relationships.
- Planned and Crisis Respite Care: Planned and Crisis Respite Care services provide a safe and supportive home for youth coping with a significant mental health disorder who are at risk for out-of-home placement because of the family’s emotional distress in relation to the mental health disorder and associated behaviors. Morrison's certified foster homes provide a natural, safe and consistent environment for children and youth while they are in the program. The program also offers constant support to the foster parents, including monthly support groups and trainings. While on respite, children and youth can expect to be engaged in fun recreational activities in the home and in the community.

Outpatient: Morrison Child and Family Services provides outpatient mental health services and substance abuse treatment for youth and their families. At the core of their work is a deep respect for each youth’s unique strengths, experiences, and cultural perspectives. They work with youth and their support systems, identifying strengths and goals that help us create an individualized treatment plan for them. Each treatment plan addresses the challenges that brought the youth into treatment. 
- Clinic-based Outpatient: Morrison Child and Family Services delivers specialized clinic-based outpatient services to children, ages birth through 18. At the core of their work is a deep respect for the complexity of human nature and human needs–we guide children and their families through difficult issues by creating tailored treatment plans to address individuals needs and cultural backgrounds. Their programs recognize and respect cultural differences and support the growth of children and adolescents so that their ability to succeed in school and in life is enhanced.
- Community- and School-Based Outpatient: Morrison’s community- and school-based programs provide therapeutic support to children and families in their homes, schools, and communities. By offering intensive therapy, increased case management, and support within community-based settings, where youth might not traditionally have access to services, they are able to meet the needs of a broad range of clients, helping to increase awareness and community support of mental health and emotional needs. In addition, youth and families with more intensive mental health needs receive specialized services within their homes and communities.
- Counterpoint Outpatient: Morrison's Counterpoint Outpatient program provides specialized services for youth with sexual behavior problems and their families. Modalities incorporated include individual, group and family therapy, intensive case management, and psychiatric services. The program aims to help clients learn new skills to prevent sexual acting out, work through existing trauma issues, teach better parenting skills, and assist with developing appropriate social skills. Program staff works closely with all identified parties including caseworkers, court counselors, and other professionals to provide relevant, personalized services. Family, including foster and extended family members, are viewed as key to their child’s success and are encouraged to be involved in all aspects of the program as appropriate.

Residential: Morrison provides 24-hour residential care with a full range of physical and mental health and/or substance use treatment services, educational instruction, and vocational readiness. Their residential programs foster an environment of positive change emphasizing choice, responsibility, and self-management. They provide the services to youth in state or federal custody.
- SAGE Youth Residential: Morrison's SAGE Youth Residential program provides long-term stabilization for survivors of commercial sexual exploitation (CSEC). Both during their exploitation and prior to it, many of these youth have experienced multiple environmental, social, and biological traumas. This may include sexual abuse, parental neglect and/or abuse, alcohol/drug dependency or abuse, school failure, and high levels of emotional vulnerability. Their SAGE program serves vulnerable youth in the CSEC population by providing a safe and secure setting in which they can experience Support, Achieve their goals, Grow, and become Empowered.

Quality Management: Morrison's Quality Management Department combines the expertise of their Program Evaluation staff and experienced mental health professionals to ensure our services meet the highest standards for quality and compliance with external regulations and contractual requirements. The Quality Management Department embodies Morrison’s commitment to excellent care for all of the children and families we serve. They are also dedicated to improving our services and demonstrating, through research and program evaluation activities, that positive results occur as a result of participating in Morrison services. Morrison's quality management coordinator ensures that services are delivered in compliance with federal, state, and county requirements and regulations. They are particularly proud that local audits reveal our programs are successful, that they are certified by the State of Oregon Addictions and Mental Health Division, and that they are accredited by the Council on Accreditation.
