Program Overview
Empowering Families. Nurturing Children.
A Family Place partners with courageous parents and caregivers who are building upon their strengths to overcome life’s challenges, build a brighter future for their children and contribute to thriving communities, enriched by the power of their triumph over adversity.
A Family Place combines community support and proven methodology to invest in the future of Yamhill County’s children and families.
Supporting Families in many ways
All families start with home visits and the offer of once-a-month therapeutic classroom. Families transition into additional services as space becomes available.
