Upper Valley MEND is a human services organization dedicated to meeting the housing, hunger and healthcare needs of people in the Upper Wenatchee Valley.

"I have to say that Upper Valley MEND is the greatest thing to happen to low income households in this region, ever. They provide so many resources including the food bank, low income housing, emergency assistance, assisted living for adults with special needs, the only thrift store in the area, free weekly health clinics, occasional free dental clinics, and more. I worked for MEND a few years ago helping run their gleaning program, which is one of a couple programs they run that benefits food banks throughout both Chelan and Douglas counties! They rock!" Cali Osborne, Leavenworth resident.

WHAT WE DO

The mission of the Washington Youth Academy is to provide a highly disciplined, safe and professional learning environment that empowers at-risk youth to improve their educational levels and employment potential and become responsible and productive citizens of the State of Washington. The vision of the Washington Youth Academy is to provide at-risk youth a quality education, positive values, and life and job skills training that will change their lives and give them hope and opportunity for a new future. This is a FREE Life Intervention, Credit Recovery Program and, for half a year, requires the cadet to live in housing we provide in Bremerton, Wash., but any resident of Washington state can attend.
NO VISITORS ON CAMPUS AT THIS TIME

The Washington Youth Academy is a National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Program. Established under authority of both federal and state law, the WYA is a state-run residential and post-residential intervention for youth who have dropped out of high school or are at risk of dropping out. The Washington Youth Academy is a quasi-military training and mentoring program for at-risk youth. The goal of the program is to give youth a second chance to become responsible and productive citizens by helping them improve their life skills, education levels, and employment potential.

The program incorporates a highly-structured format, with an emphasis on student discipline and personal responsibility to provide a positive, safe and secure learning environment.

PUTTING LIVES ON TRACK

Program graduates can recover up to 8.0 credits (approximately 1.3 years of high school credits). Credits are approved by OSPI and taught by certificated teachers. The goal is to return graduates to their home high school to graduate on time with their peers.

The WYA includes a 22-week intensive residential phase and a 52-week (one year) post-residential phase where the youth receives intense mentoring and placement follow-up. A class cycle is 154 days, including up to 7 days for home pass and placement activities for the post-residential phase. Placement activities include job search, educational appointments, vocational/technical training, a return to high school classes or full-time volunteerism. Program activities include academics, service to community, leadership, mentoring and personal development. A number of small unit training and educational enhancement activities supplement the program including an additional 7th period in the academic program to assist individuals in need of extra assistance and limited special education services.

Anyone from the state of Washington who is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, permanent resident alien or green card holder may apply.

The facility's address is 1207 Carver Street, Bremerton, WA 98312. Due to COVID-19, we are currently closed to visitors.

Youth Academy Foundation

The Washington Youth Academy Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation registered in the State of Washington, EIN 26-2771686, which solely benefits the cadets and operates a family and friends support group, among other services. Learn more online http://www.wyafoundation.org/

WRC Housing & Supportive Services: Women's Resource Center of North Central Washington

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Women's Resource Center currently operates the following programs:
​
Permanent Supportive Housing
Parkside Apartments is a 15-unit facility that houses individuals who were previously, chronically homeless, have a diagnosed mental illness and earn less than 30 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). Parkside operates using the Housing First Model. We also have funding for seven scattered site Permanent Supportive Housing units that operate on the same model. Leases are written in the tenants name and they pay rent on a sliding scale.

Bruce Transitional Housing
The Bruce Hotel in downtown Wenatchee, is home to families and individuals transitioning out of homelessness. Households are eligible for services up to 24-months, however, we start working with families right away to get them on track to exit to stable housing as soon as possible. Households must earn 50 percent or less of the Area Median Income (AMI). Residents are required to attend resident meetings, participate in self-sufficiency planning with case managers, abstain from using drugs and alcohol and perform chores. Residents are subject to drug and alcohol testing. There is a monthly program fee.
​
Landlord Tenant Liaison Program
The Wenatchee Valley Landlord Tenant Liaison Program (WV-LTL) is part of the City of Wenatchee's Ten-Year Plan to end homelessness. Since Chelan and Douglas counties are unable to build enough new rental properties to address our housing shortage, we are partnering with private landlords in our community to rent to our most vulnerable clients. The WV-LTL is looking for private landlords who are willing to rent to households who have rental barriers such as past eviction, criminal background or bad credit, often due to circumstances not within their control.

YWCA NCW offers both YWCA residents and community members a comprehensive job training program through our YWCA Thrift Store.

The YWCA Thrift Store provides beneficial hands-on job training to residents and community members giving them the necessary skills, experience, and education they need to go on to other employment opportunities. The program is designed to help under-experienced and unemployed individuals gain training in a retail environment handling sales transactions, maintaining inventory, unloading freight inventory, basic visual merchandising, and developing quality customer service skills.

YWCA NCW believes Job Training is a key element necessary to providing individuals the tools they need in order to stabilize themselves and work towards self-sustaining employment and permanent housing. Through our program, participants learn a variety of essential skills for successfully obtaining and maintaining employment. For more information on our job training program, please email info@ywcancw.org.

I was in a bad situation living with abusive people. Then I moved into YWCA's Emergency Shelter and began working at the YWCA Store in their job training program and receiving case management services. The experience I gained there helped me to get a job. I now work for a security company where I get to put my new found customer service skills to use everyday. Without the YWCA and their support, I would have never been able to make it this far. The help they have given me and so many others in the community is a blessing. They really do change lives everyday!

Former YWCA Client

The YWCA Thrift Store is made possible by your donations. All items sold in the store have been donated by generous members of the North Central Washington community, including both private and business donations. We appreciate your continued support of the individuals helped through the store program. When you shop at the store, you directly support our programs and services. Items can be dropped off directly at the YWCA Thrift Store Warehouse, Tuesday-Saturday from 10:00am-6:00pm at 231 N Wenatchee Avenue.

Your Mental Health Matters

The mission of the Behavioral Health Department is to provide high quality behavioral services to patients of Confluence Health and to maintain cooperative relations with health care providers.

Good mental health can increase productivity, improve relationships, enhance your ability to cope with life's challenges, and lead to an improved quality of life. We provide high-quality, evidence-based behavioral health services to adults that focus on improving your skills and finding positive ways to handle life experiences.

Our behavioral health providers partner with you, your primary care provider, and other outside agencies, as appropriate, to ensure that we are providing you with the support you need.

What Is Behavioral Health?

Behavioral Health services are a collaborative process that may include working with both a therapist and a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner on the care team. A therapist provides counseling services that focus on specific behaviors, emotions or thought processes. A psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner focuses on medications that target specific symptoms, as well as providing brief, solution-focused counseling.

Our Services

We provide behavioral health services to adults, including diagnostic evaluations, medication evaluations and management, and counseling services. Our staff is trained in a variety of evidence-based practices and work with you to develop and implement treatment plans that are tailored to your individual needs.
Services available include:

Diagnostic Evaluations

Individual Therapy

Group Therapy

Family Therapy

Medication Management

MAT

We believe in treating the whole person, and we support the integration of behavioral and biological approaches to behavioral health problems. Confluence Health offers Behavioral Health as both outpatient specialty clinical services and integrated within primary medical care departments. Collaboration between Behavioral Health providers and primary care providers is a priority in order to ensure that all patients receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time.

Our staff is committed to respecting the dignity and resourcefulness of each individual. We work together with patients to help develop meaningful solutions to their concerns.

Providing quality, professional treatment programs for children

Children's Behavioral Health is located at 140 Easy Way in Wenatchee. This is in the plaza in Olds Station across from Big Lots and Big 5 Sporting Goods. Call 509-662-4296, or click here for directions and more information.

It is easy for parents to identify their child's physical needs: nutritious food, warm clothes, shelter. A child's mental and emotional needs, however, may not be as obvious. Good mental health allows children to think clearly, develop socially and learn new skills. It is important children develop self-confidence, high self-esteem, and a healthy emotional outlook on life. A child's health is just as important as their physical health.

At CVCH, our Children's Behavioral Health team evaluates and treats the needs of children, adolescents and their families. Our trustworthy professionals pull from their experience and training in child and adolescent psychology, counseling, and social work to determine the best treatment options for your child.

We provide outpatient behavioral health services and work collaboratively with other individuals/organizations - such as school staff, pediatricians, or social organizations - to ensure that your child is receiving the best level of care.

True Colors United -  solutions for youth homelessness that focus on the unique experiences of LGBTQ young people.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Over a decade ago, our eyes were opened to the fact that up to 40% of the 4.2 million youth experiencing homelessness identify as LGBTQ. So, in 2008, Cyndi Lauper, Lisa Barbaris, Jonny Podell, and Gregory Lewis founded True Colors United (formerly the True Colors Fund) and went on a different kind of tour - visiting homeless shelters, community centers, and other service providers to learn all we could about the issue.

Communities and youth homelessness service providers want to be safe and welcoming for LGBTQ youth, but often don't have the knowledge or resources to do so - creating barriers for these youth to get the support they need. True Colors United fills that space by offering free training and resources on how to meet the needs of LGBTQ youth experiencing homelessness. We also advocate in government and media to help ensure critical funding and services for all youth, and create opportunities for youth who have experienced homelessness to be key leaders in the effort to end the problem.

Whether you know it or not, you're a part of the solution, too. People often think that, because they don't work at a service provider, they can't make a difference. The reality is: Everyone can make a difference! LGBTQ youth experiencing homelessness interact with more than just the folks working at shelters. They also go to coffee shops and libraries, ride public transportation, use the Internet... To put it simply: They live life! We all share the same world. Now what will you do to make it a better one?

What happens if you call a crisis line?

Once you have called a crisis line, this is what will happen next:

1. Designated Crisis Responders (DCR) and/or emergency services will arrive on the scene to perform an initial investigation of the crisis. The response time may vary depending on the location, availability of staff, and the information provided to the crisis services and 9-1-1 or 9-8-8 dispatcher.

2. The DCRs and emergency services may need to ask further questions to determine the appropriate response.

3. The individual who is experiencing a crisis may be determined to require services. If this happens, the individual will be detained immediately for involuntary treatment or they may agree to seek voluntary services and develop a safety plan with the DCRs or other behavioral health professionals in their community.

How is an individual determined to meet involuntary treatment?

A person will be determined to meet involuntary treatment under RCW 71.05 if they are a danger to self, others or property because of a behavioral health crisis.

After the person is determined to meet criteria and refuses to access voluntary services, they may be transported from the scene to an Evaluation and Treatment facility (E&T) or a Secure Withdrawal Management and Stabilization facility (SWMS). E&Ts provide mental health specific treatment and SWMS provide substance use specific treatment.

What to do if you call a crisis line for you or for someone else

Please make sure to provide detailed information about the safety of individuals who are experiencing or near the crisis. The professionals who arrive need to know this information to plan accordingly.

What is the involuntary treatment act?

The Involuntary Treatment Act (RCW 71.05, including Ricky's Law) is designed to support individuals who are experiencing a Mental Health or Substance Use crisis. This means the individual may be a harm to themselves or others due to an issue they are facing in their life. A crisis is a serious event that may require professional intervention and treatment to help the person and those around them. Washington State is dedicated to providing high quality services to each individual and the community. The public plays a key role in communicating the needs of themselves and their loved ones while a person is in crisis.

What if someone has a problem with a substance use disorder?

Joel Baum, Senior Director of Professional Development and Family Services at Gender Spectrum says, "While this may be new to some educators, parents, and students, this document builds on the successful experiences of educators throughout the country who have skillfully implemented gender inclusive policies, including those related to bathrooms. Enacting these policies allows school leaders to support the needs of all students."

Having support at school and acknowledging a student's right to use the bathroom consistent with their Gender identity is critical. A negative school experience not only hinders a Transgender student's academic achievement and growth, but can also interfere with their long-term health and well-being.

75.1% of transgender students feel unsafe at school because of their Gender expression

63.4% of transgender students reported avoiding bathrooms

41% of transgender or gender non-conforming people have attempted suicide.

​ one evening, one mission, many volunteers​

Entiat Regional Health Clinic was founded in 2012 by Entiat Valley Community Services FoodBank and a group of concerned citizens and medical professionals. That initial committee met once a month in borrowed space, until the plans of the clinic were developed. The clinic provides free health care for residents who do not have insurance or are underinsured. The clinic is mostly staffed y the generous help of volunteer physicians, physicians assistants, nurses and community volunteers wo share in the vision that everyone should be able to have good quality healthcare regardless of their ability to pay.

Urgent Need!

Health care insurance policies are expensive and are often cost prohibitive to many businesses-especially where many workers are only employed seasonally. A significant portion of people who are without insurance or are low-income, wait for a crisis and go to the emergency room which adds to higher healh care costs in our communities.

Who are uninsured?

Income: The lower your income, the more likely you are to be uninsured. Nationally, real median income declined by 2.3 percent in 2010. The primary impact of this decline fell on those 18 - 24 years old ( a 9.3 percent decline in income) and those 45 - 54 ( a 4.3 percent decline). Householders with a disability were also heavily impacted: a decline of 8.5 percent. Seniors 60 and above are also feeling the impact, some 8 million are now living in poverty in the United States.

Entiat Valley is challenged, like many other communities in Washington, with combating common public health concerns such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, adult and youth obesity, and drug use.

The high rate of unemployment in many communities of rural Washington, and the lack of accessible social services, we expect the numbers of people needing help will continue to increase. In order to provide better, more accessible care for those in need, an to relieve soem of the burden on our emergency rooms, for struggling families and elderly we decided to open a free health clinic.

With opening the free clinic, it will be able to serve patients who currently receive no care. The Entiat Regional Health Clinic, will provide free quality health care to those uninsured, low-income and underinsured the health care they need to keep them out of the emergency rooms, which is the most expensive form of health care delivery. The mission

What does it provide?

Entiat Regional Health Clinic is a free clinic that provides free, quality health care through volunteer healthcare professionals to residents who are low-income, uninsured and underinsured in Entiat and our communities of Chelan/Douglas counties, in a setting where all patients are treated with respect. You may call for an appointment - Walk-Ins Welcomed.

The Entiat Regional Health Clinic is open once a month on the 1st Saturday (food bank distribution) from 8 - 11 am. As the demand for services increases, so will the days be extended to serve more people. A schedule of the clinic days and hours will be given to patients at the clinic.

Care is provided by volunteer doctors, nurses, PA's and other medical professionals. The clinic will provide referrals for access to x-rays and lab tests from local hospitals and clinics. Free or low-cost medications will be provided to our patients through retail programs, pharmaceutical company patient assistance programs and samples later on.

Who is Eligible?

​ Entiat Regional Health Clinic provides services to adults and children. It does not provide services to sports related injuries, etc. Verify that your situation or income level qualifies you for the clinic services, this is a voluntary confirmation. Your income does not disqualify you from services of Entiat Regional Health Clinic. If you are having serious or chronic health symptoms or problems CALL 9-1-1 or go to the nearest emergency room to seek treatment.

How Is Entiat Regional Health Clinic Funded?

We are able to offer our services free of charge thanks to contributions of supplies, and equipment through the generosity of countless volunteers, donors and community partners. The volunteers of Entiat Regional Health Clinic work diligently to see funding through grants, local businesses, organizations, and private donations.

The LGBTQ Community And Addiction

Members of the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer) community face a number of challenges that have contributed to a high rate of addiction within the community.

An estimated 20 to 30% of the LGBTQ community abuses substances, compared to about 9% the population as a whole.

LGBTQ-specific treatment centers are sensitive to the needs of the LGBTQ community and address any underlying elements that may have caused an addiction. This is instrumental to the recovery process. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), addiction treatment programs that offer specialized groups for the LGBTQ community show better outcomes for those clients compared to non-specialized programs. Current research suggests that treatment should address unique factors in these patients' lives, such as homophobia/transphobia, family problems, violence, and social isolation.

Challenges The LGBTQ Community Faces

The LGBTQ community suffers from higher rates of substance abuse than the population as a whole. This is due in part to a number of societally imposed obstacles that they face, often on a daily basis, that those who identify as heterosexual typically don't.

A few of these challenges include:

Discrimination or stigmatization based on sexual orientation

Hate crimes, emotional abuse, threats, public humiliation, or ridicule

Rejection or shame from family or friends after coming out

Loss of employment or not receiving promotions

Oftentimes, LGBTQ individuals will turn to drugs or alcohol as a way to self-medicate. Substances can help temporarily numb uncomfortable feelings such as depression, anxiety, anger, or fear. Although substance abuse may appear to be beneficial initially, there are many long-term and negative consequences from hiding one's feelings.

Transgender individuals are especially vulnerable to turning to addictive substances to deal with feelings of anxiety or loneliness due to negative stigma and discrimination. In fact, one study found that transgender students are 2.5 times more likely to use Cocaine or Meth; they are also twice as likely to abuse prescription medications (such as prescription Opioids or Benzodiazepines).

Common Co-Occurring Disorders In The LGBTQ Community

One thing that may provide internal conflict for members of the LGBTQ community is that, oftentimes, they are forced to live a "closeted" life. This is where they hide their sexuality from others in fear of rejection and lead a double life in regards to acting on their sexual orientation. Keeping one's sexuality a secret is a big psychological toll that may lead to the development of mental health disorders and significant emotional distress.

Common psychological or emotional disorders present in the LGBTQ community include:

Major depression

Generalized anxiety disorder

High levels of stress

Suicide attempts or self-harming tendencies

In addition to the societal challenges that they face, an LGBTQ individual may also be experiencing physical or health issues related to their sexuality. These can also contribute to an addiction and may include:

Compulsive sexual behavior

Sexual dysfunction

Sex or HIV-related anxiety

Sexual abuse or assault

Many individuals who identify as LGBTQ have a co-occurring mental or sexual disorder that either led to a substance abuse problem or is perpetuating this abuse. When considering which treatment option is best for an LGBTQ individual, there should be a focus on addressing any co-occurring disorders to allow for the highest chance of sustained sobriety while in recovery.

Drugs Of Choice Within The LGBTQ Community

While many substances can be addictive, there are five that are abused most frequently within the LGBTQ community.

Tobacco

Gay and transgender individuals use tobacco up to 200% more than those who identify as heterosexual.

Alcohol

Between 20 and 25% of the LGBTQ community have moderate to severe alcohol dependency.

Marijuana

Gay men are 3.5 times more likely to use Marijuana than straight males.

Amphetamines

Members of the LGBTQ community are 12.2 times more likely to use Amphetamines.

Heroin

LGBTQ individuals are 9.5 times more likely to use Heroin than heterosexual individuals.

Treatment Centers For The LGBTQ Community

One of the reasons that LGBTQ individuals may be hesitant to get help is the lack of resources available to them that address their individual needs, especially in certain areas of the US.

There are various treatment programs, however, that focus on the isolation that members of the LGBTQ community often experience, as well as the lasting effects of conducting a "closeted" life or being the victim of discrimination.

LGBTQ-specific rehab centers help pinpoint any co-occurring mental health disorders, which helps with lasting healing and recovery. Without addressing the underlying reason to use or any conditions that may be contributing to an addiction, there is a far greater chance for relapse.

Explore These Featured Treatment Centers

Get The Help You Need

The LGBTQ community's rate of addiction is concerning, as are the various challenges and obstacles these individuals face on a daily basis that can contribute to a substance abuse problem.

By entering a rehab center that specializes in LGBTQ addiction and care, you will feel like part of the majority rather than the minority and be surrounded by individuals that can provide support and encouragement.

If you or someone you love is struggling with an addiction and want to explore treatment options, contact a treatment provider for help.

Welcome To The Compassionate Friends
Wenatchee Valley Chapter

We are deeply sorry for the loss that brought you to us, but you need not walk alone.

Our Mission

The mission of The Compassionate Friends: When a child dies, at any age, the family suffers intense pain and may feel hopeless and isolated. The Compassionate Friends provides highly personal comfort, hope, and support to every family experiencing the death of a son or a daughter, a brother or a sister, or a grandchild, and helps others better assist the grieving family.

The Compassionate Friends is an international organization that supports families grieving the death of a child with over 660 chapters around the nation. Chapters can also be found in over 30 countries around the world. It is a national, nonprofit, self-help support organization which offers friendship and understanding to families who are grieving the death of a child of any age, from any cause. Our purpose is to assist families toward the positive resolution of grief following the death of a child and to provide information to help others be supportive. The Compassionate Friends (TCF) Wenatchee Valley Chapter was chartered on August 1, 2006 to serve the greater Wenatchee Valley and North Central Washington.

There is no religious affiliation and there are no membership fees or dues, and all bereaved family members are welcome.

The secret of TCF's success is simple: As seasoned grievers reach out to the newly bereaved, energy that has been directed inward begins to flow outward and both are helped to heal.

Sharing Meeting Locations and Times

Third Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m.

Grace Lutheran Church
1408 Washington Street
Wenatchee, WA 98801

The Compassionate Friends Credo

We need not walk alone. We are The Compassionate Friends. We reach out to each other with love, with understanding, and with hope. The children we mourn have died at all ages and from many different causes, but our love for them unites us. Your pain becomes my pain, just as your hope becomes my hope. We come together from all walks of life, from many different circumstances. We are a unique family because we represent many races, creeds, and relationships. We are young, and we are old. Some of us are far along in our grief, but others still feel a grief so fresh and so intensely painful that they feel helpless and see no hope. Some of us have found our faith to be a source of strength, while some of us are struggling to find answers. Some of us are angry, filled with guilt or in deep depression, while others radiate an inner peace. But whatever pain we bring to this gathering of The Compassionate Friends, it is pain we will share, just as we share with each other our love for the children who have died. We are all seeking and struggling to build a future for ourselves, but we are committed to building a future together. We reach out to each other in love to share the pain as well as the joy, share the anger as well as the peace, share the faith as well as the doubts, and help each other to grieve as well as to grow. We Need Not Walk Alone. We Are The Compassionate Friends.
©2007 The Compassionate Friends

Siblings Walking Together

We are the surviving siblings of The Compassionate Friends.
We are brought together by the deaths of our brothers and sisters.
Open your hearts to us, but have patience with us.
Sometimes we will need the support of our friends.
At other times we need our families to be there.
Sometimes we must walk alone, taking our memories with us,
continuing to become the individuals we want to be.
We cannot be our dead brother or sister;
however, a special part of them lives on with us.
When our brothers and sisters died, our lives changed.
We are living a life very different from what we envisioned,
and we feel the responsibility to be strong even when we feel weak.
Yet we can go on because we understand better than many others
the value of family and the precious gift of life.
Our goal is not to be the forgotten mourners that we sometimes are,
but to walk together to face our tomorrows as surviving siblings of The Compassionate Friends.
