FAMILY SERVICES
ABOUT OUR WORK WITH FAMILIES
PWI's Family Services are designed to support safety and stability for Oregon Department of Human Services Child Welfare involved families. Our intention is to work collaboratively with parents/caregivers so that their children are able to remain safely in the home and out of the foster care system. Our services also support Resource Parents and their families in developing skills and strategies in the hopes of avoiding placement disruption. 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 is to work in collaboration with families to build upon their strengths so they are better equipped to achieve their goals.
PWI currently contracts with DHS and provides services in Portland and surrounding areas.
Parenting With Intent has been an amazing resource for us in working with our families. Not only are they a support for my families, but I feel they are my partners and teammates as well. I have to say that in all of my experience working in Child Welfare, Parenting With Intent has been fantastic and is always my go to when I think about my families. They have done an amazing job and I commend all of them for the fabulous services that they provide and will continue to provide in the future.
