Crisis Response Team Returns to In-Person Support

Crisis Response Team Returns to In-Person Support

For many families in our community, there is a need for help and care when a child is experiencing a mental or behavior health crisis. To support those families, Looking Glass, The Child Center, and Jasper Mountain came together to create the Crisis Response Team. Unfortunately, in-person services had to be temporarily suspended in April due to concerns around COVID-19. We are happy to announce, however, that with careful planning, we were able to resume in-person services on July 6th.

Residential Programs Get Fit at the YMCA

Residential Programs Get Fit at the YMCA

Every day, Looking Glass residential treatment clients are taken to the Eugene YMCA to play basketball and use the exercise equipment as part of their healing and education on living a full, healthy life.

“The YMCA is a safe way to get the clients' energy out - in our residential facilities, clients got to where they are by making some bad choices usually when they do not have healthy alternatives to those lifestyles,” Explained Aaron Hinkley, a Program Supervisor for Pathways Boys and PRD programs.

Child and Adolescent Network Provides Crisis Line and In-Person Intervention

Child and Adolescent Network Provides Crisis Line and In-Person Intervention

Looking Glass is a proud founding member of the Child and Adolescent Network (CAN). Over decades of experience hosting a 24-hour crisis line for parents and children in Lane County, starting in 2005 the need for non-police crisis intervention became apparent. Working with Jasper Mountain and The Child Center, we expanded the 24/7 Crisis Line (541-689-3111) to become the Crisis Response Program (CRP) that combines the crisis line with in-person interventions when necessary.
