About GOBHI's
Foster Care Program
As a co-owner of the Eastern Oregon Coordinated Care Organization, GOBHI has connections to behavioral health networks throughout Oregon. Our Foster Care program sprang from seeing the need for safe places for foster youth to land throughout the state. The result is that we are uniquely poised to connect foster youth and foster families so they can thrive.
Our foster parents are a vital part of our team-based, trauma-informed approach. These families open their homes to provide care and we provide training, a 24-7 support line, and more. Together we use a Collaborative Problem Solving® approach with foster youth ages 3 through 21, referred to us from the Child Welfare System or their local Community Mental Health Program.
Being in the system is hard enough, so disruptive that 49% of Oregon foster youth have a high school diploma or GED by the time they're 21. We do everything we can to keep youth in their home communities, in the same schools, and near their existing support systems. With support and understanding of why they struggle in the first place, these kids can thrive.
To provide those safe spaces to land, though, we need more foster homes. Learn more about the journey to becoming a GOBHI Foster Parent today!
