Oregon Health Authority Creates A Provider Partnership For Child Behavioral Support In Family Shelters

The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) is funding a pilot program that embeds behavioral health support for infants and young children in a family shelter. OHA awarded Morrison Child & Family Services $286,000 to support the pilot with Path Home.

Morrison’s Infant & Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation (IECMHC) Program will use the funding to partner with Path Home, a Portland, Oregon-based non-profit organization that operates a shelter in Multnomah County serving families with children under age 18 who are experiencing homelessness.

At Path Home, Morrison’s bilingual mental health consultant works with families who have children . . .
