About Family Solutions
25 Years of Hope and Healing
This year marks a huge milestone for us. Family Solutions is celebrating 25 years of offering hope and healing to children and families in Southwest Washington!
Since 2001, Family Solutions has been a nonprofit behavioral health agency serving children, youth, and families throughout Southwest Washington. We provide compassionate mental health care through individual, family, and group therapy, family support, care coordination, medication management, and peer support.
Each year, we serve more than 1,500 children and families, including young children, teens, and caregivers navigating trauma, loss, family disruption, foster care or adoption, economic hardship, and other sources of chronic stress.
At Family Solutions, our therapeutic work extends beyond the traditional therapy room. Our therapeutic garden grows out of that work, creating another setting where children and families can build connection, experience success, spend time in nature, grow and share food, and engage in therapeutic activities outside a clinical setting.
More Than a Garden
Mental health care is at the heart of what Family Solutions does, but healing can happen in more places than a therapy room. Cultivating Calm, our therapeutic garden project is a phased development of a trauma-inform
Our therapeutic garden gives children and families opportunities to grow food, spend time outside, move, create, work alongside one another, and participate in hands-on therapeutic experiences.
A session might include walking and talking, planting, harvesting, noticing insects, caring for something over time, or simply having a safe place to be outside.
Nature- and garden-based experiences can support regulation, connection, grief work, confidence, autonomy, family relationships, and belonging.
The garden creates opportunities for children and caregivers to connect, work side by side, and share moments of pride and joy.
Look What We've Grown Together
The garden is not just a future idea. Children and families are already using it.
With support from clients, staff, volunteers, donors, and community partners, we have already:
Before irrigation was installed, watering meant carrying water from the building by hand.
Community support helped turn dead grass and dirt into a thriving garden.
Food to Grow, Harvest, and Share
The garden produces doesn't just produce therapeutic experiences; it also produces fresh food!
Children can harvest directly from the garden, and extra produce is shared with clients, families, and staff to take home.
Food insecurity is associated with poorer mental health among children and adolescents, making food access another meaningful part of this project.
Fresh produce grown in the garden is shared with our community.
What's Next
We've built the foundation. Now we want to make the garden more accessible, more productive, and usable for more of the year.
Your gift can help us:
Our longer-term vision includes sensory gardens, dedicated therapy and gathering spaces, natural play, expanded food production, and youth stewardship opportunities.
