Low-Cost Parenting Supervision for those who qualify

Studies show that one of the greatest predictors of success for children later in life is a strong, positive relationship with both parents. You may be ending a marriage or relationship, but you will always be a parent.

When dissolving a relationship, the costs of attorneys, counselors, and coaches can be overwhelming. If court-mandated parenting supervision is part of the agreement, you may qualify for low-cost help from one of our parenting supervisors.

Partnership with Food With Dignity

Food With Dignity grew out of a simple need: connecting food that is going to be discarded with hungry people. According to Feeding America, one out of every eight children in Oregon faces hunger. Food With Dignity is a low-barrier food bank in NE Portland. It began in the ’90s as a grassroots effort inspired by Food Not Bombs & the needs of the Portland community. It relies on donations from individuals, restaurants, and organizations. Donation details and other information can be found here: ofc.parenting.coach@gmail.com

The Mask Project

We founded Optimism Family Center in 2018…just before Covid-19 spread throughout the world, and most businesses and services shut down. When not working, we made masks to donate to families and people in need during the face mask shortage. We have also sourced mask surplus from local businesses to redistribute. We’ve provided masks and protective gear to organizations like Janus Youth Services, PPS students and staff, clients of Food With Dignity, and more to keep people safer when they are spending time together.
