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.

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.

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.
