About Alzheimer’s Association

The Alzheimer’s Association was founded in 1980 by Jerome H. Stone and a group of family caregivers who saw the need for an organization to unite caregivers, provide support, and advance research into the disease. It is headquartered in Chicago with chapters in communities nationwide.

The Association’s mission is to lead the way to end Alzheimer’s and all other dementia by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support.

As the largest nonprofit funder of Alzheimer’s research, the Association serves people living with dementia, caregivers, and families across the country through its 24/7 Helpline, local chapters, education programs, and support groups.

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.

FRAUD SURVIVOR SUPPORT — HELPLINES · PEER GROUPS · FREE RESOURCES

Oregon-Centered & National · Completely Free · Confidential

“You are not alone. Help is here. And healing is possible.”

If You Are Being Scammed Right Now — What to Do

STEP 1 — Stop. Don’t send anything else.

Stop all contact with the scammer right now. Do not send any more money. Do not buy gift cards. Do not send a wire transfer or cryptocurrency. Do not give out any more personal information, passwords, or account numbers. If you are on the phone with them, hang up. If they are pushing you to act fast — that pressure is part of the scam. Take a breath. Step away.

STEP 2 — Call for help: 1-877-908-3360

Call the AARP Fraud Watch Network Helpline. This is a free call. A trained specialist will answer. They will help you figure out what happened and what to do next. You do not need to be an AARP member. When you call, try to tell them: what kind of scam it was, how you sent money or information, and when it happened. They will take it from there. Available Monday through Friday, 5:00 AM – 5:00 PM PT.

STEP 3 — Call your bank right away.

If you sent money by bank transfer or wire, call your bank’s fraud line now. The sooner you call, the better the chance of stopping or reversing the transfer. If you used a gift card, call the number on the back of the card and report it as fraud. If you gave out your account number or password, ask your bank for a new account number and change your password today. Ask them to watch your account for anything unusual.

STEP 4 — Report it.

Reporting helps stop scammers from hurting others. Report the scam to the Federal Trade Commission at reportfraud.ftc.gov. If the scam happened online — such as a romance scam, phishing email, or fake investment — also report it to the FBI at www.ic3.gov. If you live in Oregon, you can also call the Oregon Department of Justice at 1-877-877-9392 or file a complaint online at www.doj.state.or.us/consumer-protection/contact-us/.

STEP 5 — Lock down your personal information.

If you gave the scammer your Social Security number, date of birth, or bank account information, put a credit freeze on your accounts. A credit freeze is free and stops anyone from opening new accounts in your name. Call or go online to freeze your credit with all three credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Need help? Call the Identity Theft Resource Center at 1-888-400-5530 (Monday through Friday, 6:00 AM – 5:00 PM PT). They will make a free, personal plan just for your situation. You can also get a free step-by-step recovery guide at www.identitytheft.gov.

STEP 6 — This is not your fault.

Scammers do this for a living. They are very good at fooling people. They can trick anyone — no matter how smart, careful, or experienced you are. Feeling ashamed or embarrassed is normal. But shame is what scammers count on to keep you quiet. You do not have to go through this alone. The free support groups in this posting are here for you. Real people who have been through the same thing are ready to listen.

About ManKind Project USA

ManKind Project USA traces its roots to a single men’s initiation weekend held in Wisconsin in January 1985, developed by Bill Kauth, Rich Tosi, and Ron Hering. It has since grown into a nonprofit training and education organization operating in more than 20 training areas across the United States.

The organization’s mission is to support men in leading lives of integrity, authenticity, and service through experiential personal development programs and peer-facilitated men’s groups.

ManKind Project USA serves men at every stage of life, including identity-specific communities such as men of color and young men, through its flagship New Warrior Training Adventure and a national network of free, confidential men’s groups meeting in over 120 communities.

The Compassionate Friends

Online Chat Support Community

The Compassionate Friends is a nationally renowned non-profit organization providing highly personal comfort, hope, and support to every family experiencing the death of a child, sibling, or grandchild. The organization helps others better assist the grieving family through peer-led mutual support, compassionate community, and volunteer outreach.

Online Support Community — Live Chat

The Compassionate Friends Online Support Community provides volunteer-led virtual chat rooms offering mutual comfort, hope, and support to bereaved parents, grandparents, and siblings (age 18 and over) who have experienced the death of a child. Trained TCF volunteers — themselves bereaved parents, siblings, or grandparents — facilitate all sessions. General bereavement sessions meet throughout the week, and specialized rooms address specific types of loss. The intent of these chats is to provide mutual comfort and support through conversation; volunteers are not professional grief counselors.

About The Compassionate Friends

The Compassionate Friends was founded by bereaved parents who understood that the most powerful support often comes from those who have walked the same path. With chapters across the United States and international reach, the organization has grown into one of the most widely recognized peer-led bereavement organizations in the world, offering a network of support to families facing one of life’s most devastating losses.

The mission of The Compassionate Friends is to provide highly personal comfort, hope, and support to every family experiencing the death of a child, sibling, or grandchild, and to help others better assist the grieving family. TCF is built on the principle of peer support — that those who have experienced loss are uniquely positioned to support others through theirs. The organization espouses no specific religious, philosophical, or political ideology, welcoming families from all backgrounds.

The Compassionate Friends serves bereaved parents, grandparents, and adult siblings (age 18 and over) regardless of the cause or circumstances of death. The organization recognizes that grief is deeply personal and that the needs of bereaved families are as varied as the losses they have endured. Specialized support is available for those who have lost their only child, those grieving a suicide loss, families navigating pregnancy or infant loss, and many more.

The Online Support Community extends TCF’s reach to those who cannot access in-person chapters due to geography, mobility, or other barriers. Volunteer-led virtual chat rooms operate seven days a week, providing a safe, moderated space for bereaved individuals to share, listen, and find connection. All chat volunteers are themselves bereaved parents, grandparents, or siblings trained in TCF’s peer support principles. Registration is required to protect the safety and privacy of all community members.
