Riverview Center for Growth is here to stay.

We want to clarify recent news and reassure our community that Riverview remains fully operational.

Lane County is transitioning Youth Mobile Crisis Response services away from Riverview effective May 1st, 2026. Our Crisis Program will continue serving Lane County youth and families through April 30th, 2026.

While we are deeply saddened by this change, Riverview remains active and committed to serving our community through our other programs, including:
• Day Treatment
• Wellness Services
• Outpatient Therapy
• School-Based Mental Health Support
• Psychiatric Care
• Intensive In-Home Behavioral Health Services

Our team will continue providing 24/7 crisis support to active Riverview clients only. We are proud to have served Lane County for 55 years and we are still here for you.

Because of our community, we were able to serve 268 youth from 108 households through this year’s Holiday Project. These gifts brought real relief to families navigating hardship and helped make the holidays feel complete.

This project is driven by a small team of Riverview staff who make sure that every request is handled with care from start to finish. Their dedication reaches every family we serve, and we’re deeply grateful for their time and heart in making this project a success.

Alongside wishlist sponsors, our community also gave over $7,000 in monetary donations, with every dollar going directly to fund gifts for local youth.

Thank you to our Holiday Project partners:

• CLF Network for hosting the Giving Tree at VRC, which provided gifts to 150 Riverview youth this year.

• Business supporters including RE/MAX Integrity • LAB Golf • Industrial Source • Wildish Construction • Wireless Source • COUNTRY Financial • Morgan Stanley, Dimensional Group • Oregrown • Riverview Market • The Yoga Place

• Alliance Storage - Springfield, OR for hosting a clothing drive and donating space to store 30 brand-new bikes and helmets, generously donated by Nadine H.

This is what community care looks like in action. If you’d like to be part of our next Holiday Project, we’d love to connect with you. To reach out or learn more about our services, visit RiverviewGrowth.org
