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.

Culturally responsive DDA’s Veterans meetings are intended to provide a safe venue to be open about depression, post-traumatic stress, alcohol and drug use, abuse, and addiction as well as serve as a resource for navigation of the telehealth system, It will encourage healthy solutions for adapting to the changing times. Specifically. the project will Improve access for Veterans and military service members to dual diagnosis services through the creation of on-line recovery support groups and on-line DDA meetings.
This project will serve Veterans throughout the state and is beginning outreach through Veterans publications, local newspapers, the VA, Veterans websites, list services, and anything else that will help identify Oregonians who can use the services.

Military kids face unique psychological challenges related to military life. Compared to their non-military peers, military kids are many times more likely to move multiple times during their school careers and have a parent absent for long periods of time in potentially dangerous locations – factors that can greatly stress military kids’ mental health.
The Defense Health Agency maintains two online resources to support military children, use the links provided below:

ABOUT AUTISM
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).

Military Guide: Upholding Your Oath When Orders Cross the Line
As a U.S. service member, your duty is to uphold the Constitution and follow only lawful orders. When an order crosses that line, knowing how to respond is critical—for your mission, your team, and your integrity. This guide provides clear, actionable steps to help you stand on your oath, protect yourself and your fellow service members, and access trusted military resources when facing questionable or illegal directives.

- Final Word
- Crisis and Help Numbers
The Oath of Service and Your Duty
You swore to support and defend the Constitution. That oath compels you to refuse illegal orders and uphold the law—even under pressure. You protect your unit, the mission, and your nation.
-
UCMJ Articles 90–92 (Uniform Code of Military Justice, 64 Stat. 109, 10 U.S.C. Chapter 47) make this clear: only lawful orders are obligatory.
-
If you comply with an illegal order, you may be held accountable under military or international law.
-
Officers also swear to faithfully discharge their duties—command responsibility is real.
Unlawful Use of Troops on U.S. Soil — The Posse Comitatus Act (18 U.S.C. § 1385)
-
This federal law prohibits the use of the U.S. Army or Air Force to enforce domestic laws unless expressly authorized by the Constitution or an act of Congress.
-
The Department of Defense applies this restriction to the Navy and Marine Corps as well.
-
It forbids domestic policing actions such as arrests, crowd control, surveillance, or searches without specific legal authorization.
-
Violations are criminal offenses—you cannot be lawfully ordered to conduct such operations unless legally authorized.
-
This statute protects both the public and military personnel from illegal misuse of military force in civilian affairs.
What to Do Now
Stop and Assess –
- Doubt the order? Pause and record the details.
- Check whether the mission violates the Posse Comitatus Act if it involves enforcing domestic law or targeting civilians on U.S. soil.
Contact JAG Immediately –
- Legal advice is confidential and your right.
Document Everything –
- Include names, dates, times, and exact wording of the order
Report Through Official Channels –
Use JAG, Inspector General, or whistleblower protections under 10 U.S.C. § 1034
Protect Your Mental Health –
Respond to Retaliation –
-
If you face consequences for refusing an unlawful order, escalate through JAG and IG
Safe First Actions (if you’re unsure)
- Do not comply immediately
- Contact JAG right away
- Write down all details

- Officer Leadership Checklist
- Refuse illegal orders
- Protect your subordinates
- Ensure your team knows how to report safely

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.

Oregon Warmline 1-800-698-2392
Intentional Peer Support (IPS) provides a powerful framework for creating relationships where both people learn and grow together. IPS is used across the world in community, peer support, and human services settings, and is a tool for community development that honors each person’s strengths and innate value. Why IPS? Peers come together around shared experiences and often a desire to change lives. But without a new framework to build upon, people frequently re-enact “help” based on what was done to them. IPS offers a foundation for doing something different. We focus on building relationships that are mutual, explorative, and conscious of power. We won’t try to “fix” you, but we would love to connect with you to listen, share, and learn with you as we both move forward in our life journeys.
Our confidential and non-judgmental peer support starts with the premise that people have learned to make meaning of their experiences and relationships out of everything they have learned in their lives. We know that this has led many people to feel undeserving, distrusting, and inherently flawed. Without understanding how we, as individuals, have come to know what we know about being in relationship and the world around us, we are likely to have trouble, not only with emotional distress, but also with a continuous struggle when there is tension in relationship or in one’s community.
We believe that crisis is an opportunity to learn. In a mutual and respectful conversation, peers discover together how they have developed their beliefs about themselves and the world in which they live. Together, help and crisis are redefined and have new meaning. Each person has the opportunity to challenge themselves to learn how they might change their trauma story of victimhood and crisis to one of mental wellness.
We do not give advice or attempt to ‘get’ anyone to do anything. We are there to listen and validated the caller’s feelings and experiences. Together we have a conversation in which we both become more self aware while learning and growing together. We share experience and knowledge in order to discover ways in which we both learn new ways of managing our feelings and discover healthier ways of being in relationship with others. Once where an individual had to “cope” with an issue, they may learn to challenge their beliefs regarding that issue, have a different experience of the situation and no longer have to “cope” because the issue no longer exists. The use of this Oregon Warmline may help people decrease the need for frequent doctor’s visits, emergency room treatment, involvement with law enforcement, and the need for more intensive care.
