HEAD-TO- TOE PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS ARE CONDUCTED BY EXAMINERS SPECIFICALLY TRAINED IN DIAGNOSING CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT. THE CENTER ALSO PROVIDES SPECIALIZED SCREENING FOR CHILDREN ENDANGERED BY EXPOSURE TO DRUG USE, DISTRIBUTION, OR MANUFACTURING. EXAMINERS USE THEIR FINDINGS TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO LAW ENFORCEMENT, CHILD PROTECTIVE WORKERS, AND FAMILY MEMBERS, ALL WITH THE GOAL OF ENSURING THE WELL-BEING OF THE CHILD.INTERVIEWS WITH A CHILD SUSPECTED TO HAVE BEEN ABUSED OR NEGLECTED ARE CONDUCTED BY INTERVIEWERS SPECIALLY TRAINED TO TALK TO CHILDREN OF ALL AGES AND DEVELOPMENTAL LEVELS. THE INTERVIEWS ARE DESIGNED TO ALLOW CHILDREN TO DESCRIBE THEIR EXPERIENCE IN THEIR OWN WORDS IN A NEUTRAL, CHILD-FOCUSED, AND TRAUMA-INFORMED SETTING.

PRIOR TO ITS LAUNCH, CHILDREN AND FAMILIES WOULD OFTEN ENDURE LONG WAITS FOR A THERAPY APPOINTMENT ELSEWHERE. NOW, AFTER A MEDICAL ASSESSMENT AT THE CENTER, CHILDREN AND FAMILIES MAY CONTINUE THEIR HEALING PROCESS BY TAKING PART IN THE THERAPY PROGRAM. THE TRAUMA-FOCUSED COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY(TF-CBT) MODEL IS AN EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT DESIGNED TO HELP KIDS OVERCOME THE EFFECTS OF A TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE. ACCORDING TO RESEARCH, TF-CBT SUCCESSFULLY RESOLVES MANY EMOTIONAL AND BEHAVIORAL DIFFICULTIES ASSOCIATED WITH TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCES.THE CENTER IS ALSO A LEAD PARTNER IN HEALTHY BOUNDARIES AND BEHAVIORS (A PROGRAM TO SUPPORT CHILDREN WITH PROBLEMATIC SEXUAL BEHAVIORS) WHICH WAS ESTABLISHED BY THE MDT TO PROVIDE SUPPORT, EDUCATION, RESOURCES, AND INTERVENTION TO CHILDREN ELEVEN YEARS AND YOUNGER WHO DEMONSTRATE SEXUALLY INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR. THE CENTER CONTACTS FAMILIES IN THESE CASES WITH A GOAL OF ADDRESSING BEHAVIORS BEFORE THEY ESCALATE TO A POINT THAT NECESSITATES JUVENILE JUSTICE INVOLVEMENT. 343409 OUTREACH AND PREVENTIONTHE CENTER HAS A STRATEGIC GOAL TO PREVENT CHILD ABUSE BY ENGAGING AND EQUIPPING COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO RECOGNIZE THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF ABUSE, EMPOWERING THEM TO PROPERLY ADVOCATE FOR AND PROTECT CHILDREN. BROAD-BASED COMMUNITY AWARENESS INITIATIVES, NETWORK AND PARTNERSHIP BUILDING, AND PUBLIC INFORMATION AND TRAINING ARE ESSENTIAL TO THESE EFFORTS. THE WORK WITH PARTNERS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT, CHILD WELFARE AND CHILD-SERVING-AGENCIES, AND THE MEDICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH COMMUNITY MEANS THAT THE CENTERS CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION INITIATIVES REACH EVERY CORNER OF CLACKAMAS COUNTY. TARGETED OUTREACH EFFORTS TO INDIVIDUALS FROM BUSINESS, CIVIC AND FAITH-BASED GROUPS ONLY ADD TO THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE BECOMING CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION ACTIVISTS.BECAUSE SO MANY EVALUATIONS INVOLVE A CHILD WHO HAS BEEN SEXUALLY ABUSED, THE CENTER HAS MADE THIS ISSUE A HIGH PREVENTION PRIORITY. UTILIZING DARKNESS TO LIGHT'S NATIONALLY ACCLAIMED CURRICULUM STEWARDS OF CHILDREN, THE CENTER CONDUCTS COMMUNITY-BASED TRAININGS TO IMPROVE AWARENESS OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE AND ENABLE ADULTS TO BE RESPONSIVE TO THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF THIS PREVALENT FORM OF CHILD MALTREATMENT. 2697905 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 20 0 true 35 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 18 18 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false OR X X ANNE THIEL 5036557725 1713 PENN LANE OREGON CITY OR 97045 CATHY LANG MEDICAL CLINIC DIR 40.00 0.00 179744 0 5432 CANDY WAMPLER MEDICAL EXAMINER 40.00 0.00 135430 0 11580 SARAH SMITH MEDICAL EXAMINER 40.00 0.00 131095 0 11795 KAREN RUSH PAST EXEC DIR 40.00 0.00 X 130643 0 11732 GABE PETERSON MEDICAL EXAMINER 40.00 0.00 106966 0 3259 LAURA SISULAK Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 52980 0 4644 ALEXA LACHMAN Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHAEL COPENHAVER Vice Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 PATTI FELLAS SECRETARY/TREAS 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 KRISTIN EATON PAST CHAIR 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHAEL PITTMAN BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 AMY NEHL BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BRIAN NAVA BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ELISABETH ZELLER BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ISHAN RAY BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JAY JONES BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN WENTWORTH BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JULIE GOODRICH BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KEN ENSROTH BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MEISHA PLOTZKE BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ORLANDO PEREZ BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RENEE WINJUM BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TIFFANY GILLESPIE BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TIM COOK BOARD MEMEBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 736858 48442 5 false true false 0 1531919 402112 1328 1934031 INSURANCE AND PROGRAM FEE 624100 919906 919906 919906 13698 13698 0 0 0 0 266084 117324 148760 148760 0 0 LEASE AND OTHER INCOME 900099 25443 25443 25443 3041838 945349 162458 0 0 0 0 147432 36858 73716 36858 0 2138380 1699905 323874 114601 43903 33358 7636 2909 207284 157495 36054 13735 204994 155755 35656 13583 0 0 0 0 0 0 341187 285733 18563 36891 0 33444 6162 617 26665 0 0 87171 71297 9522 6352 23684 21363 1974 347 0 0 0 0 117905 95266 13580 9059 57216 49944 4362 2910 SUPPLIES & EQUIPMENT 55706 48220 3014 4472 SUBSCRIPTIONS & TRAINING 34812 19334 13041 2437 OTHER EXPENSES 20363 9763 1665 8935 COMMUNICATIONS 9706 7452 1664 590 0 3523187 2697905 544938 280344 X 1190757 619427 201663 451865 304229 295786 177384 182879 0 0 0 0 101398 67918 3878319 1392223 2582207 2486096 0 0 0 0 0 4557638 4103971 148786 155968 20500 148786 176468 X 4252210 3860481 156642 67022 4408852 3927503 4557638 4103971 -481349 X false true X true false X 1288998 2013207 1590324 2225782 1934031 9052342 0 0 1288998 2013207 1590324 2225782 1934031 9052342 24830 9027512 9673 6989 1144 8573 13698 40077 0 266084 266084 9358503 4830395 0.96460 0.92330 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 3523187 3523187 326159 81540 false 261740 277270 306179 326159 1171348 1757022 13450 13450 65435 69318 76545 81540 292838 439257 13450 13450 380000 380000 2985861 1029560 1956301 243517 212199 31318 268941 150464 118477 2486096 3067430 25592 25592 3041838 3041838 3548779 25592 25592 3523187 3523187 false HEALING GARDEN GALA 266084 266084 19730 30673 1230 65691 266084 266084 19730 30673 1230 65691 117324 148760 X false false false false false false false false false CATHY LANG MEDICAL CLINIC DIR 179744 5382 50 185176 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b A DRAFT OF THE FORM 990 IS REVIEWED BY MANAGEMENT OF THE ORGANIZATION AND MADE AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR APPROVAL PRIOR TO SUBMISSION.
