Please join us in celebrating Karol for earning her GenPMTO certification, a major milestone in her professional journey!

GenPMTO (Generation Parent Management Training, Oregon model) is an evidence-based parenting intervention that equips caregivers with practical tools to build stronger family relationships, encourage positive behavior, and support healthy development in children and youth. It focuses on skills like positive reinforcement, consistent limit-setting, emotional regulation, and problem-solving, all grounded in decades of research and proven outcomes for families.

We are so proud of Karol for adding this certification to her already impressive clinical background. Her expertise in GenPMTO means even more families can receive meaningful, effective support as they strengthen connections and navigate everyday challenges with confidence.

Help us congratulate Karol in the comments! 👏🎉

Families heal around tables.
They share stories, worries, inside jokes, and the small moments that help kids feel seen and safe.

But for many of the families we serve, sitting down for a simple meal together isn’t simple at all.
Some are choosing between groceries and gas. Some are navigating crises that make it hard to keep food on the table. Some just need a small bit of support to make those moments of connection possible.

The Jackie Rosemond Fund was created to honor Jackie’s legacy of showing up for families with warmth, compassion, and zero judgment. Today, the fund helps provide food, transportation assistance, and practical support so parents and caregivers can focus on what matters most: being together.

If you’d like to help a local family share a meal, text JackieOCP to 41444 or visit: https://igfn.us/f/5toy/n

Thank you for keeping Jackie’s spirit alive in this work!

✨ This Giving Tuesday, we’re lifting up the story of a youth we’re calling Riley. ✨

She is fourteen, bright, quick witted, and stronger than she realizes. She has lived in more foster homes than she can remember and she ran when things fell apart. She spent time in juvenile detention feeling scared and completely alone. And through it all, she held on to one painful belief: she thought her dad did not want her anymore.

Riley is now in OCP's specialized foster care, and what she didn’t know was that her dad was also receiving support through OCP. He is working through his own struggles, taking parenting classes, showing up for family therapy, and practicing skills he wished he had known years earlier. He keeps showing up because he loves her, even on the days he can barely hold himself together.

Now, with both Riley and her dad engaged in services, she is closer than ever to something she never believed she would have again: the chance to wake up on Christmas morning in a home where she feels safe, seen, and loved. ❤️🎄

Learn more about Riley’s journey and help make her next step possible:

Professional development at OCP is always a team effort!!

During last week’s Parenting Through Change training, some of our clinicians practiced leading a mock parent group while Clinical Director, April and Outpatient Program Director, Evyan played the part of parents. There were plenty of laughs and lots of learning along the way!

Parenting Through Change is an evidence-based program that creates opportunities for parents to support one another, build on strengths, and navigate parenting with greater confidence.

These hands-on trainings help our staff grow together and ensure families receive the best possible support!
