Before you get started.
Where should we begin?
Start with the situation that sounds like yours in the guide. There is a path for exploring services, finding a caregiver after support is approved, and reviewing an arrangement you already have.
Is this helpful for adults, too?
Yes. The guide is for families of children and adults, and for people directing their own support.
Can we talk with someone now?
Yes. Contact KIDS NW to start a conversation about the support you are looking for. You can also call 503-437-4917.
