AGENCY DESCRIPTION

The ChristieCare provides an array of comprehensive mental health services to children and families in both community-based and residential settings. Treatment is based upon the assessment of physical; psychological; emotional and social needs of children and families, and draws from the expertise of a variety of professional personnel. Christie mental health services focus on asset-building and integrating families into every step of the child's treatment process. Christie has adopted the principles of the American Re-Education Association, which helps children achieve their therapeutic goals by offering an environment that focuses on building strengths, improving self-esteem and increasing the frequency of positive reactions children receive from their surroundings. This strength-based approach to psychiatric services contributes to the programs' tremendous success rate -- over 80% of children are succeeding in less restrictive living environments in the community six months after discharging from Christie psychiatric residential programs (the national average is 50-60%). Christie's internal procedures and systems incorporate a paperless reporting system and real-time treatment tracking, which complies with evidence-based practice legislation passed by the State of Oregon. Christie also collaborates with the Clackamas Education Service District to provide therapeutic educational services and on-site education.

Program Description

Assessment and Evaluation/Stabilization provides a short-term milieu focused on determining the strengths and ongoing needs of children, with the ultimate goal of returning them to a less restrictive ecology. While in our care, children receive a comprehensive evaluation of medical, educational, recreational, and psychiatric needs. A psychological assessment is provided if the child has not had such an assessment completed within the last six months. The program integrates families and caregivers in all treatment processes and offers both family support groups and therapy, as well as onsite educational services. ~~much needed~~ Stabilization of children in crisis is also offered in a secure, therapeutic setting.
