Transitions

The goal of the Transitions program is to provide convenient, confidential, and respectful school-based prevention services to adolescents and their families in Clackamas and East Multnomah Counties. All services are culturally competent and trauma-informed and utilize evidence-based practices and curriculum. Our approach is built on the values of family, motivation, respect, resilience, and problem-solving. Our programs are designed to offer safety and support by providing individuals with structure, accountability, encouragement, honesty, and caring feedback. We provide support to youth and families in learning new information and skills while practicing new ways of thinking and communicating.

While we do provide treatment services in a school setting across Clackamas County and East Multnomah County, we also have the ability to provide services within the community at safe, non-traditional community locations as well as our local offices in Clackamas and Gresham.
