Center for Healthy Inclusive Parenting
Welcome

Portland State University's Center for Healthy Inclusive Parenting (CHIP) promotes the development systems that strengthen and support children, women, men, families, and communities. CHIP operates from a strength-based model, building on existing family and community assets and resources. The Center fosters the development of partnerships and collaborations among providers, families and policymakers to acknowledge, challenge, and affirm perceptions of misrepresented or underrepresented family systems.

CHIP provides individualized technical assistance, training, and consultation to social service agencies, community organizations, education systems, and programs that interface with families on topics that include:

  • Capacity building
  • Community development
  • Culturally inclusive service delivery
  • Gender-specific services
  • Grandparents as primary care providers
  • Homelessness
  • Incarcerated parents
  • Mentoring
  • Parents in recovery
  • Teen parents
