The Salvation Army Northwest Division offers a wide range of social services in 34 towns and cities in Washington, Montana and northern Idaho. In addition, a large network, Service Extension, makes it possible for people in small communities to access Salvation Army emergency services anywhere in the three state region. The manner in which need for assistance is verified and the spirit in which help is given are at the heart of Army service. The compassion and understanding shown in an emergency may open the way for assistance with deep-seated problems and long-term deprivation. Needs may be revealed for counseling, placement, day care, rehabilitation, referral, or other help.
The Salvation Army is an integral part of each community in which it is located. Along with a network of other organizations and services, The Army exists to meet the needs of the people who live in that community. In more than 100-years of service around the world and here in the Pacific Northwest, The Salvation Army has earned the trust of the communities we are part of and strives to merit continued support.

Kindering Center is commited to provide superior, individualized, family-centered services for children who are disabled, medically fragile, or vulnerable because of abuse or neglect and to develop maximum potential, hope, and community understanding.
Prescreening checklists are provided on the Kindering website. These checklists are a quick, organized way of helping caregivers to recognize possible problem areas in a child’s vision, hearing and development. Further, the charts help caregivers recognize areas that deserve a second look by a professional who can give a complete developmental test. The chart may be used by anyone who works with young children, including parents, child care providers, case workers, and preschool staff.
Since 1909, Childhaven has been a safe and nurturing place for children. From the earliest days as one of Seattle’s first child care centers for working mothers to today as a national leader in caring for abused and neglected children, Childhaven heals old hurts, nurtures young lives and empowers families to break the cycle of abuse and neglect and create lifelong loving relationships.
Research shows that without treatment, abused and neglected children are more likely to commit crimes and to repeat the cycle of abuse and neglect. Early intervention is the key. Childhaven is a recognized leader in therapeutic child care, which uses research-based methods and individualized attention to help children heal, form healthy relationships, and learn to trust again.
In four locations across Seattle and King County, Childhaven intervenes during the most critical period of brain development for children one month through 5 years of age, to give therapy, social interaction and emotional support needed to grow up happy and healthy. Parents and caregivers also get the encouragement and support they need to become the families they want to be. Childhaven not only heals families already shattered by abuse and neglect, we also work to prevent it from occurring again.
