Family Relief Nursery is an intervention/prevention program for families with children six weeks to five years old. We work to strengthen fragile families at serious risk of abusing or neglecting their children or of permanently losing custody of their children. The Nursery offers a holistic, positive intervention with both children and parents. All services are provided at no charge to families.

How to Enroll in Family Relief Nursery:
The first step to receiving services is to call 503-236-8492 and set up an intake appointment. During this appointment, we'll determine if you qualify to receive services and can be accepted into our program. Intake appointments last between 45 minutes to an hour. Childcare is not provided; however, we can meet you in your home. Families are enrolled as space allows. If you must be put on our wait list, you will be eligible to receive outreach services.
How to Enroll in Drop-In Respite Care:
Free drop-in respite care is provided every Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Priority is given to clients on our wait list, and space is limited to eight children. Enrolled clients may call 503-236-8492 the Wednesday before to reserve a spot.
