Calendar Event Sorting
At the top, the 24/7/365 SAMHSA Disaster Helpline and similar links.
Next, Bundled “All Day” Events
Some organizations (like 12 step recovery programs, AA, NA, AlAnon, etc.) have so many events happening throughout the day that they need to be in a bundled listing to spare endless scrolling. Often there is a link to look up events by zip code and other criteria.
Lastly, Time-Specific Events
So you can see what’s happening in the next hours, time specific events are tagged and listed by start time from 12:01am early morning to 11:59pm late night. There can be events and warmlines operating in different time zones, though we try to list all in Oregon’s Pacific Time Zone.

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU REACH OUT
Wait times are usually under 5 minutes. You’ll get a message that a counselor will be with you soon.
We’ll ask what to call you, your age, and what state/country you’re in. You don’t need to share your real name or any identifying details.
Share what feels comfortable at your own pace. No pressure. We’ve heard it all before – nothing will shock us.
We’ll give you accurate info about sexual safety, help you think through next steps, and connect you with resources if you want them.
WHO YOU’LL BE TALKING TO
Our counselors are trained professionals who specialize in:
We’re here to help – not to judge, lecture, or pressure you.
What we can do:
✓ Listen and support you
✓ Give accurate information
✓ Help you think through options
✓ Connect you with resources
What we can’t do:
✗ Provide ongoing therapy
✗ Give legal or medical advice
✗ Make referrals to specific local therapists
YOUR PRIVACY IS PROTECTED
Everything is confidential:
Important to know: If you tell us someone is being hurt right now or a crime is happening, we may be legally required to report it. We’ll be upfront with you about this.
WHY WHATSOK IS DIFFERENT
Built BY youth, FOR youth:
We have a Youth Advisory Council (ages 14-21) who help shape our services. They make sure we’re using language that makes sense, covering topics that matter, and creating a space where you actually want to reach out.
No shame, no judgment:
Sexual development is complicated. Having questions is normal. Feeling confused is normal. We get it, and we’re here to help – not to make you feel worse.
Focused on prevention:
We believe that getting help early – when you’re just questioning or concerned – can prevent harm and help you stay on a healthy path. It takes courage to reach out, and we respect that.

“Even on cloudy days, UV rays are working. So should your sunscreen.”
WHY SUN SAFETY MATTERS IN OREGON
May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month — and Oregon’s weather can be deceiving. Oregon is known for cloudy skies and rain, but the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays can still harm your skin year-round. Whether you’re at the coast, hiking in Central Oregon, or spending time in the Willamette Valley, sun protection matters every single day.
In May, the UV Index in Oregon can reach levels as high as 10 (Very High) — meaning unprotected skin can burn in fewer than 20 minutes. Clouds do not block UV rays. Even on overcast days, your skin is at risk.
UNDERSTANDING THE UV INDEX
The UV Index is a daily rating that tells you how strong the sun’s UV rays are. Check the rating before heading outside.
Quick tip: If your shadow is shorter than you are, the sun’s rays are at their strongest. Find shade and reapply sunscreen right away.
Use the EPA UV Index Search Tool to check today’s UV rating for your area before heading outside. Available 24 hours a day · 7 days a week.
HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF
Good sun safety habits can be simple. Small steps add up and can protect your skin for a lifetime.
CHECK YOUR SKIN EVERY MONTH
Catching skin cancer early can save your life. A monthly self-check takes just a few minutes. Here’s what to look for:
If something seems unusual, contact your doctor. Early detection and treatment make a significant difference in outcomes.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability affecting about 1 in 36 children and roughly 2.2% of adults (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2023). It influences social communication, behavior, sensory processing, and how individuals experience the world. Symptoms and support needs vary widely, which is why it is called a “spectrum” (National Institute of Mental Health [NIMH], 2023).
People with ASD may have challenges with social interaction and communication, engage in repetitive behaviors, show sensory sensitivities, and prefer routines and predictability, with signs typically appearing in early childhood (NIMH, 2023). Causes include neurological differences, genetic factors, and possible environmental influences, while psychological causes have been ruled out (NIMH, 2023).
With appropriate supports and inclusive environments, autistic individuals can thrive in education, work, and community life (Autistic Self Advocacy Network [ASAN], 2023).

Secular AA does not endorse or oppose any form of religion or belief system and operates in accordance with the Third Tradition of the Alcoholics Anonymous Program: “the only requirement for A.A. membership is a desire to stop drinking.” https://aasecular.org
Secular Al_Anon – “This web page is for people interested in recovery from the effects of someone else’s drinking in their lives, who want Al-Anon to be a comfortable place for people of no religion, any religion, or any uncertainty on such issues. It offers contacts and resources.” http://rivenwoodbooks.com/secularAlanon/

The 12 Steps of Narcotics Anonymous Revised by ChatGPT
initiated by Michael E., April 27, 2023. ChatGPT is the most popular of the new artificial intelligence programs. It was directed to “rewrite the NA 12 steps to remove any references to god or a higher power.” The response to this initial query was posted on April 27, 2023 to the Secular NA Coffeeshop Facebook group. Based on feedback, two minor edits were made to remove inclusion of the terms “prayer” and “spiritual.”

As communities recover from the impacts of recent wildfires, many individuals are left coping with more than just physical loss. The emotional and psychological toll can linger long after the smoke has cleared.
It’s important to recognize when a normal reaction shifts into something more concerning. Emotional responses like fear, sadness, anger, or fatigue are natural and okay in the aftermath of a disaster. It may be a sign that someone needs additional mental health support if:

DoD Safe Helpline is the sole secure, confidential, and anonymous crisis support service specially designed for members of the Department of Defense community affected by sexual assault.
Safe Helpline Serves
Active Duty Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force Reserve component (Army National Guard, Army Reserve, Navy Reserve, Marine Corps Reserve, Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve, and DHS’s Coast Guard Reserve) members and their families.
Telephone HelplineCall 877-995-5247 to be connected with a trained, confidential
Safe Helpline staff member, 24/7.
DSN users can call Safe Helpline by dialing 877-995-5247.
For those unable to call toll-free or DSN, call 202-540-5962.
OCONUS Service members can call the Telephone Helpline for free from
anywhere in the world by using Voice over IP (VoIP) technology from
theSafe Helpline App.
You can chat one-on-one with a Safe Helpline staff member
to access a range of support services including:
What is the Safe Helpline app?
The Safe Helpline app is a free mobile resource created to meet the unique needs of members of the Department of Defense community affected by sexual assault. By downloading the app, you can access 24/7 support through Safe Helpline’s Telephone and Online Helplines, get information and resources to help address the short- and long-term effects of sexual assault, as well as practical exercises, to help you manage your self-care. We also recognize that for many survivors stationed outside of the United States (OCONUS) additional limitations may arise when accessing resources, which is why the Safe Helpline app has been designed to give survivors access to a variety of support services and self-care exercises in a free, and convenient way.
How can the Safe Helpline app help me?
We’ve designed the app to give you a way to access any resource within the app directly from the home screen.
Chat: Access one-on-one support through the Online Helpline, 24/7 and chat directly with a Safe Helpline staff member.
Call: Connect directly to a Safe Helpline staff member for one-on-one support through the Telephone Helpline, 24/7. You can choose to make the call using Voice over IP (VoIP) or by using your cellular data. Using VoIP might be a good option for Service members who are OCONUS and may not have access to cellular service in their current location.
Learn: Within this section of the Safe Helpline app, you can access our self-paced educational programs to learn how to address the effects of sexual assault, how to support a survivor and ways Safe Helpline can support you or someone you know. All of these education programs can be completed anonymously by the user. You’ll also be able to access scenarios to give you tangible ways to step-in and support others.
Self-Care: The app allows you to easily create and use a customized self-care plan with specially designed self-care exercises. Once downloaded, you can come back to view your plan and exercises at any time, even without an Internet connection.
How do the self-care plans work?
The self-care plan is created by answering a series of six questions designed to help you focus and identify how you are feeling at that moment. Questions are answered on a sliding scale of zero (never) to five (always), and the app will recommend different exercises based on your responses. There are no “good” or “bad” answers to these questions, and responses can vary from day to day, depending on how you are feeling.
Once you’ve answered the questions on the plan, the app will suggest self-care exercises. The exercises include:
We recognize the importance of keeping your information safe, so we’ve also set up a security feature that allows you to lock your self-care plans behind a privacy wall using a 6-digit pin of your choosing.
Journaling:
The Safe Helpline app allows you to journal directly in the app with weekly prompts. Taking some time out of your week to journal can give you a moment for reflection and an opportunity for self-care. You can also choose to skip any prompts or just write freely depending on how you are feeling. Some of the questions include:
Like the self-care plans, the journal entries you save are protected by a privacy wall and will allow you to lock your information behind a 6-digit pin of your choosing. You can also access and refer back to your journal without an Internet connection.
Coloring Book:
Sometimes focusing on a mindless activity can help you process difficult emotions and be grounded in the present. To help with this, another self-care activity available on the app is a collection of six designs, ranging from easy to difficult, that allow you to paint or color your own works of art.
How is the Safe Helpline app secure, and is activity on the app traceable by third parties?
As with all Safe Helpline services, your privacy is of utmost importance, and the technology behind the Safe Helpline app was created by RAINN to protect your safety and anonymity by ensuring that no personally identifiable information (PII) is collected.
The following precautions have been implemented to protect your privacy when using the app:
While Safe Helpline has taken the steps outlined above to help increase the safety and anonymity of Safe Helpline app users, please remember that if you are using the app on a DoD or other work-related device, your employer may be able to track your usage of this app. In addition, similarly to a paper journal, Safe Helpline app journal entries may be admissible during court proceedings.

El apoyo intencional de pares (IPS, por sus siglas en inglés) proporciona un marco poderoso para crear relaciones en las que ambas personas aprenden y crecen juntas. IPS se utiliza en todo el mundo en entornos comunitarios, de apoyo entre pares y de servicios humanos, y es una herramienta para el desarrollo comunitario que honra las fortalezas y el valor innato de cada persona. ¿Por qué IPS? Los compañeros se reúnen en torno a experiencias compartidas y, a menudo, el deseo de cambiar vidas. Pero sin un nuevo marco sobre el cual construir, las personas con frecuencia recrean la “ayuda” en función de lo que se les hizo. IPS ofrece una base para hacer algo diferente. Nos enfocamos en construir relaciones que sean mutuas, exploratorias y conscientes del poder. No intentaremos “arreglarlo”, pero nos encantaría conectarnos con usted para escuchar, compartir y aprender con usted a medida que ambos avanzamos en nuestros viajes de vida. Nuestro apoyo de pares confidencial y sin prejuicios comienza con la premisa de que las personas han aprendido a dar sentido a sus experiencias y relaciones a partir de todo lo que han aprendido en sus vidas. Sabemos que esto ha llevado a muchas personas a sentirse indignas, desconfiadas e inherentemente defectuosas. Sin entender cómo nosotros, como individuos, hemos llegado a saber lo que sabemos sobre estar en una relación y el mundo que nos rodea, es probable que tengamos problemas, no solo con angustia emocional, sino también con una lucha continua cuando hay tensión en la relación. o en la propia comunidad.
Creemos que la crisis es una oportunidad para aprender. En una conversación mutua y respetuosa, los compañeros descubren juntos cómo han desarrollado sus creencias sobre sí mismos y el mundo en el que viven. Juntas, ayuda y crisis se redefinen y adquieren un nuevo significado. Cada persona tiene la oportunidad de desafiarse a sí misma para aprender cómo podría cambiar su historia traumática de victimización y crisis por una de bienestar mental.
No damos consejos ni intentamos “conseguir” que nadie haga nada. Estamos allí para escuchar y validar los sentimientos y experiencias de la persona que llama. Juntos tenemos una conversación en la que ambos nos volvemos más conscientes mientras aprendemos y crecemos juntos. Compartimos experiencias y conocimientos para descubrir formas en las que aprendemos nuevas formas de manejar nuestros sentimientos y descubrimos formas más sanas de relacionarnos con los demás. Una vez que un individuo tuvo que “hacer frente” a un problema, puede aprender a desafiar sus creencias con respecto a ese problema, tener una experiencia diferente de la situación y ya no tener que “hacer frente” porque el problema ya no existe. El uso de esta Oregon Warmline puede ayudar a las personas a disminuir la necesidad de visitas frecuentes al médico, tratamiento en la sala de emergencias, participación con la policía y la necesidad de cuidados más intensivos.
There are over 150+ WARMLINES throughout the country! Each organization has different hours of operation, some only accept in-state calls while others operate nationwide and will take calls from anywhere. Most are English speaking but there are a growing number of organizations that offer non-English speaking services.
Until WARMLINE.ORG, there was no easy way to locate all of this information. With the database that we have built, you can easily locate WARMLINES that speak your language and that are OPEN NOW if you need someone to talk to.

If you could watch a short video about a particular health topic, what would it be?
Maybe you want to know more about how vaccines work? Or maybe you want to learn the science behind wastewater surveillance and its benefits to public health? Or, what do Oregon’s ticks look like?
Our videography team is geared up and ready to create educational (and not boring!) videos about health issues that the people of Oregon want to better understand.
There are a multitude of topics OHA has expertise on, and we invite you to explore our entire website to see what subjects fall under our umbrella. You might be surprised by what you find!
Other examples might include wildfire smoke risks and safety, drug and alcohol use disorders (as well as treatment and recovery), disease prevention such as cancers or STDs, radon testing, disaster preparedness, or a behind-the-scenes look at how we monitor the water quality at Oregon’s beaches, lakes and rivers.
For the more bureaucratically minded, we can also explain some of Oregon’s laws surrounding health care policy, including Oregon Health Plan (OHP/Medicaid) and its benefits, Measure 110 or the state’s psilocybin services program.
Thank you in advance for any and all suggestions!
