Partnership for Children began in 1998 through a collaboration between Intermountain and Youth Homes. The goal was to combine the campus-based treatment model that Intermountain had pioneered in Helena with Youth Homes’ expertise in providing services in a community-based setting. By merging the respective strengths of each non profit, Partnership for Children is able to provide a cost-effective, quality-treatment option in Missoula for young children who have experienced significant childhood trauma.
