Description

Northwest Family Services (NWFS) supports family stability, children, and victims of crime by addressing social determinants of health. They are a culturally-responsive organization with a wide array of programs that address basic needs, housing stability, youth engagement, family support, and behavioral health in the Portland- and Salem- metro areas.

Their programs encompass a broad spectrum of support, including health and social service navigation, youth prevention and intervention programs, and outpatient alcohol and drug treatment. Recognizing the power of unity, they provide coalition support for drug-free communities and lend their aid to youth and families impacted by incarceration. NWFS is also a proponent of restorative justice, offering mental health services and job readiness and placement programs. NWFS offers a culturally specific shelter for Latina women and children who have endured violence.

NWFS’s approach to family stability is holistic, incorporating couple’s classes, parenting, and healthy relationship education. Their services, available in both English

and Spanish, extend throughout the greater Portland-Salem metro area. Their efforts also extend to housing stability, helping families and individuals secure the foundation they need to rebuild and flourish.

NWFS programs and services are available to everyone regardless of ethnicity, nationality, disabilities, religion, gender, sexual orientation or any other legally protected status.
