Helping Families Find Their Footing
Oregon Community Programs has been a quiet but steady presence in Lane County for decades, offering behavioral health care and foster family support to children and families who need it most.
What They Do
Oregon Community Programs is an outpatient behavioral health clinic serving children and families across Lane County. The agency also runs a therapeutic foster care program, pairing children in foster care who have specialized needs with trained and supported foster families.
A Different Kind of Care
OCP's outpatient services are grounded in evidence-based approaches, with a particular focus on the relationships children have within their families. The work is hands-on by design: rather than limiting sessions to an office setting, many services take place out in the community, where families can practice skills in real life.
“Parents are the primary motivators of change and support and long-term success in families.”

Parents at the Center
A core belief at OCP is that parents are the primary motivators of lasting change. Staff work extensively with parents to help them feel skilled and confident in managing their family, and to become the go-to person their children can count on. That philosophy shapes everything from individual sessions to how the agency engages with the broader community.
Part of Something Larger
Oregon Community Programs has been woven into the fabric of Lane County since 1983, operating as a private nonprofit throughout that time. The people who work and volunteer there clearly feel the weight of that role. As one staff member put it during a recent visit to campus, there are a lot of ways people make a difference in a community, and OCP aims to be one of them.
