About Northwest Prevention Science
Northwest Prevention Science (NPS) was established in partnership with the University of Oregon Prevention Science Institute to support mental and behavioral health professionals.
NPS provides training and software (SaaS) tools to clinicians, social workers, counselors, therapists, schools, mental health and primary care centers, hospital and health care organizations, and insurers that engage with youth and their families.

Our Mission
NPS will enable wide-scale access to a flexible, cost-effective mental health intervention, supported by technology, that keeps families together and tackles the youth mental health crisis.
For schools, we will reduce the challenges of managing mental health and behavior problems at school by providing solutions that support families to address these concerns at home.
For healthcare systems, we will provide mental health support and reduce ER claims.
For the mental health system, we will maximize the impact of limited available staffing resources through use of a brief, flexible, family-focused intervention.
For the child welfare system, we will reduce the trauma and life disruption caused by separation of families and contribute to successful reunification of children with their families.
Achieving our mission will transform the quality of life for families for generations, and reduce society-wide costs of our current mental health crisis. For implementing agencies, we will provide solutions that can supplement and be integrated into current agency processes and programs.
