Providence Willamette Falls school program is an intrinsic part of the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Unit that provides treatment for children with mental health challenges. This is a 22-bed unit serving children with mental and behavioral needs from the ages of 5 through the end of their 17th year. Education is provided four hours a day with the focus on academic curriculum, tutoring and homework coordination. Hospital school teachers work closely with a multi-disciplinary team of psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, families and schools to support in the transition of each student to their next placement, providing recommendations for 504 plans, IEPs and school re-entry.

The teachers at Providence Willamette Falls delivered a presentation at the annual 2016  Association of Educational Service Agencies National Conference. We want to recognize their achievement of winning the grand prize for Innovation in Student Services award.
