Arizona has compiled an excellent guide regarding parenting time recommendations for parents. The booklet offers several comprehensive suggestions for parenting time for each parent based on the child’s age and offers a number of questions and considerations for the parents. The guide reminds parents that parenting time is based on the child’s needs and situation, not the parents. The guide is not limited to Arizona and could be used in any state, including Oregon.

MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS

Families need a great deal of support while going through emotionally difficult or traumatic events, such as divorce or separation. Portland Public Schools publishes a list of mental health providers in the Portland metro area.Clarity Law LLC recognizes the benefits of obtaining mental health support, but does not specifically endorse any of the listed agencies. Each organization has their own independent mission and vision. Insurance companies have care coordinators that can assist in determining best resource fit. If a child does not have health insurance their school nurse can help get them connected to insurance no matter their citizenship status.
