Skills Training

The program provides community-based Skills Training to youth of all ages in ODHS custody. Youth referred to the program have identified behavioral and/or mental health concerns that may lead to placement instability. Services may be provided to youth in non-relative, relative, and biological parent placements, and are offered at times identified as most relevant to the youth/family. Skills Trainers use a combination of games, activities, and curriculum along with evidenced based practices including Collaborative Problem Solving to help youth build Social-Emotional skills. Skills Trainers work to help improve communication, relationship, independent living, and community-based skills while increasing pro-social behaviors. We currently provide services in Columbia, Clatsop, Multnomah, Clackamas, Washington, Marion, Polk, Yamhill, Linn, Benton, Lane, Umatilla and Morrow counties. ODHS Caseworkers are able to submit a referral directly to Clarvida.
