The Relief Nursery is a nationally recognized, comprehensive family support program for parents of children up to six years of age who are experiencing extraordinary stress.  Established in Oregon in 1976, the program has consistently shown positive results in helping overwhelmed families decrease their stress and increase their parenting skills. 

 The mission of the Relief Nursery is to prevent the cycle of child abuse and neglect by early intervention that focuses on building successful and resilient children, strengthening parents and preserving families.  With its unique blend of therapeutic early childhood services and comprehensive family support, including alcohol & drug recovery support services, the Relief Nursery empowers vulnerable families and helps stop the vicious cycle of child abuse and neglect.  Families seeking services are often struggling with things like financial strain, a history of abuse, substance abuse or a lack of social support.
