Welcome to ARISE Mentor’s, LLP. We are a Medicaid agency that provides services to adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We are located in Oregon and currently service individuals in the Portland metro and Lincoln County areas.  We were founded in 2016 by Drew Stinson and Rex Goode, who have a combined 35+ years experience working with individuals who experience intellectual and developmental disabilities. We recently hired an agency manager, Kathleen Garrett who has experience in residential management and working with children. Between Rex, Drew and Kathleen, there is over 60 combined years of dedicated service and experience between them.

Our direct support professionals come from a variety of backgrounds and experience. They all share a passion and enthusiasm for the work that we do. See some of our employee profiles linked to on this website.

You can find out a lot about our philosophy for how we work with individuals by visiting the other articles on this website. We provide training in influential interviewing in addition to the required trainings in mandatory abuse reporting and first aid.

All members of our team maintain a workload with individuals so that everyone up to the owners of the agency are in touch with what it is like to work in the trenches with our supported individuals.
