April is Child Abuse Prevention Month !!
Upcoming events during Child Abuse Prevention Month
Throughout the month of April we will be hosting a series of events to engage with the community and raise awareness of our work to prevent child abuse throughout Central Oregon. Please join us at one (or all) of our events and get to know MountainStar and our staff.
Child abuse and neglect have lasting impacts on a child’s social, emotional and physical development. MountainStar Family Relief Nursery exists to keep our community’s children safe and give them the best start possible.
MountainStar works to prevent child abuse and neglect by assisting vulnerable families and promoting the health and safety of children in Central Oregon.
Learn about our therapeutic centers, Relief Nursery program, and other services for families.
There are families in Oregon living with immense stressors, risks, and chaos—none of which are conducive to a child’s health and safety. We serve more than 300 families every year, but there are more in need.
The Need
Programs
We offer therapeutic services to children and families living with risk factors for abuse and neglect: homelessness, poverty, domestic violence, mental illness and more.
Outcomes
Our Relief Nursery's model and methods are proven to boost children's healthy development, strengthen families, and reduce the risk of mistreatment.
