St. Mary's Home For Boys

About this facility

The school, just off SW Tualatin Valley Highway (Route 8) in Oregon, provides residential and outpatient mental health services for boys ages 10 to 17 with emotional and behavioral challenges. Many have experienced abuse, unstable homes, or trauma. Programs also address drug and alcohol use, and harmful sexual behaviors, helping boys build healthy habits, safe choices, and better understanding of themselves. Therapy is rooted in a cognitive behavioral interpersonal (I-CBT) model and supported by individual, group, and family counseling. Outpatient care includes mental health assessments, therapy, and psychiatrist-led medical management. They also offer a specialized sexual offenders treatment program that supports boys with harmful sexual beliefs or trauma histories through focused therapy, structured workbooks, and long-term behavior change. Boys live in a clean, safe, and structured environment with daily routines that support emotional, physical, and social development. Family involvement is encouraged through home visits and counseling. Aftercare planning ensures support continues beyond treatment, while outpatient services provide continuity for boys and families adjusting back into their communities.
