Following last year’s damning audit of Oregon’s foster care system, we conducted a series of interviews with those directly involved, including parents, children and caseworkers. This year, in partnership with the Solutions Journalism Network, we’re exploring different approaches to child welfare. We traveled to Tennessee late last year to learn about Youth Villages, which focuses on help for biological and adoptive families to keep kids out of foster care. Youth Villages now operates in more than a dozen states, including Oregon. Last month, we talked with the organization’s Memphis-based CEO, Pat Lawler. Today, we sit down with Andrew Grover, the head of Youth Villages in Oregon to find out how its Intercept program is being used here. And we meet a Portland mom, Wendy Warren, who says she and her two adopted daughters found the counseling and support invaluable when they found themselves in crisis.
