Prineville, Ore. – Rimrock Trails launched a new program in Prineville to provide immediate behavioral health support for youth in Crook County. The Assessment and Resource Center (ARC) offers same-day assessments for young people and their families without the need for an appointment or referral.
The program is located at the Prineville Outpatient Clinic on Combs Flat Road and serves individuals ages 18 and under. It provides a low-barrier entry point for those facing emotional, behavioral health, or substance use challenges.
The center provides support for various needs, including behavioral health issues and situational challenges. In addition to assessments, the program offers skills groups. These groups focus on building coping strategies, communication and resilience.
Staffing for the center includes a dedicated care coordinator and a peer support worker. The peer support worker brings lived experience to the role to emphasize trust and understanding for families taking the first step toward care.
The program functions as a gateway to ongoing care and essential community resources. By providing immediate access, the center connects individuals to additional services based on their specific needs following the initial assessment.
