Resources for Families

Positive family connections help youth do better in their education and treatment. Rogue Valley supports positive family involvement.

We host events to allow youth and their families to spend time together. These include an annual Family Day for each unit, a Mother's Day brunch, a Father's Day barbecue, graduation, and a school open house.

We also host workshops to help families learn about the treatment we offer to youth. To see a list of upcoming events and workshops, check out the family bulletin board in our visiting area.
