Fostering Hope Initiative - Community Health

Keep yourself and your family members hydrated!

Summer is winding down, but it is still important to stay cool in the various days of Oregon heat. If you do not have an air conditioner, try visiting free public spaces with air conditioning, drape yourself with a damp towel or take a cool shower, use a fan, or spend time in the cooler sections of your home.

Our Family Support & Connections program pairs families with a Family Advocate who will walk with you on your family's unique journey. The Family Advocate will help your family to establish goals and meet them, one step at a time.

Refer yourself, or another family today, by emailing [email protected].
