Description
Our Foster and Adoption program recruits, trains, and certifies foster family homes from the community to provide warm, secure, and therapeutically safe environments for foster children. Foster children and parents are provided ongoing therapy, training, and support services.
Safe Families for Children: provides parents, who are experiencing a temporary crisis, with a safe place for their children to stay while they address the issue that led to the instability in their lives.
Family Preservation provides innovative treatment services, resource linkage, and community involvement to support families in staying together. Programs include parent education, family counseling, and case management services.
Olive Crest’s Fostering Together is a program that Olive Crest and the state of Washington, have developed to improve upon recruitment and retention practices of foster families throughout the state.
