When I have a bad day, I can come back and start a new day.  I have staff to help me switch things from bad to good.  As I keep on trying ot get over big and small waves, Serendipity will be there when I need help and keep me on my boat of life. - Serendipity Student

In our therapeutic school program, mental health interventions are integrated with special education classrooms to provide comprehensive care for K – 12 students whose psychiatric and emotional issues impair learning.

North Star, Serendipity’s alternative program, offers both half-day and full-day placements for middle and high school students needing small group and individualized instruction. 

Our Transition to Independence program, TTIP, provides vocational preparation, life skills training, and clinical case management for young adults aged 17 to 21 preparing to enter adulthood. 

Oregon school districts from Multnomah, Clackamas, and Washington Counties, as well as districts in Southwest Washington State, refer students to Serendipity’s programs.

Funding is provided by the referring school districts.  In Multnomah County, mental health co-funds placements with school districts for eligible students.

 

It is Serendipity’s purpose to provide the nurturing and productive experiences that allow young people who have repeatedly failed to turn their lives around.  We appreciate your interest in our programs and welcome your support.
