Social Purpose Works is the latest innovative program offering of Metropolitan Family Service (MFS), a Portland Oregon social service agency since 1950.

Morrison provides mental health and substance use recovery services for approximately 7,000 youth and families annually throughout Oregon, with most services provided in the Portland metro area. Morrison is committed to bringing families together and prioritize their work to achieve equitable, culturally-responsive, and sustainable practices to serve individuals of every background. Their innovative programs provide a broad continuum of care to make a positive difference for children, youth, and families. Programs and services include Prevention, Education, and Outreach; Clinic Based and Virtual Outpatient, Community School Based Outpatient; Day Treatment; Foster Care & Respite; and Residential & Shelter. Their team includes almost 400 people. Morrison has a long, reputable history in the community and is seen as a lead in providing mental health and behavioral health services in Oregon.
