COMMUNITY: Planned and Crisis Respite Care

Planned and Crisis Respite Care (PCRC) 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. Our 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.

Planned and Crisis Respite Care are looking for adults in the Portland metro Oregon area who might be open to letting a child or youth into their home for a few nights when they are not working. We offer training for anyone who is interested. For more information you can contact our training coordinator, Amy Oleary at 503-736-6510 or email at Amy.OLeary@morrisonkids.org
