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.

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.”
By Young Addicts, For Young Addicts
This official NA pamphlet does not emphasize the “higher power” aspects of non-secular NA. A good intro for younger addicts seeking help in NA. https://secularna.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/By-For-Young-AddictsEN3113_2008.pdf

Beyond Belief. Agnostic Musings for 12 Step Life by Joe C.

About the Secular NA
GAMBLERS ANONYMOUS is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from a gambling problem.
The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop gambling.
There are no dues or fees for Gamblers Anonymous membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. Gamblers Anonymous is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any cause. Our primary purpose is to stop gambling and to help other compulsive gamblers do the same.”
From the Gamblers Anonymous Website:

Modified Closed Meeting:
Same as a “Closed Meeting” but the members would vote to include certain groups such as health professionals, guests attending with first time members, and persons with other addictions in need of a meeting

Whoever you are and whatever you may be going through, you are welcome on the Warmline! Our caring team of trained peers offers nonjudgmental and confidential peer support every day. No appointments needed! We are here for you!
Our goal is to connect with you, to listen, and to discover together how we can make sense of our experiences. We understand that everyone has a unique worldview. People can see more possibilities for ourselves when we connect with a compassionate peer.
Our Warmline Team members are people who have experienced life challenges – including moods, voices, visions, trauma, and addictions. We know what it is like to feel big feelings or to find ourselves in moments when there seems to be little to hope for. No need to go through this alone… Give us a call! 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.

2026 SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION
Scholarship applications for Peerpocalypse 2026 will open on Monday, February 2nd, and remain open through Friday, February 27th. Scholarships are a core part of Peerpocalypse, helping reduce financial barriers so peers from across Oregon can attend, connect, and share knowledge together. While scholarship applications are not open yet, we wanted to give you a heads up so you can start preparing.
Based on feedback from past attendees, we’ve moved the scholarship application period closer to the conference date as a way to honor people’s changing circumstances and support a more accessible conference experience.
To support this timing change, a limited number of conference tickets will be reserved for scholarship applicants to purchase if general tickets sell out before scholarship notifications are sent.
How to Prepare Now for Scholarships
Below are tips to help you prepare for the scholarship applications opening next week:
The application takes about 20–30 minutes to complete. Applications are reviewed once the application window closes, so there is no advantage to applying early. Take the time you need and just be sure to submit before the deadline.
You will be answering questions focused on your lived experience, connection to peer support, and how attending Peerpocalypse supports your work or recovery journey.
We recommend starting to gather a brief written response about why attending Peerpocalypse matters to you and notes on your peer role, lived experience, or community involvement, and organization size (if applicable to you).
We’ll share application links in next week’s newsletter and you will be able to find the application link on our site as well as social media.
Start reflecting on your peer journey and experiences, and know that we’re excited to support your path to Peerpocalypse.

Peerpocalypse is a national convergence of peer leaders, emerging leaders, innovators, and peers who want to become more involved in the peer support community. The event adopts the philosophy that peers bring a great deal of knowledge and expertise — and that this knowledge should be shared for the betterment of the movement. Allies are welcome. Participants may encounter workshop topics that are edgy or uncomfortable. That’s okay — lean into the discomfort and learn.
This year’s theme, Rooted & Rising, honors where the peer movement has come from — its grassroots beginnings, its resilience, and the deep community connections that ground it. As the movement continues to grow, it carries those roots forward, using lived experience and collective wisdom to shape the future of peer support. Rooted & Rising invites everyone to celebrate how far the community has come and to reach higher together.

WHY PEERPOCALYPSE MATTERS
Supporting Peer-Led Services and the Peer Movement
Peerpocalypse exists because decisions about the peer community continue to be made without peers at the table. Too many members of the community are unemployed or underemployed. Members of the peer community die 25 years earlier than the general population. Nearly a quarter of people who are incarcerated experience mental health challenges, and approximately 50% meet criteria for substance use disorder. Addiction extends beyond substance use to include gambling and other process addictions, and too many community members live in poverty.
Peerpocalypse exists to remind the community there is hope, to awaken energy, to share what works, and to demonstrate that when peers come together, they can turn the way things are into the way they should be. Nothing reinforces community strength more than being in one place together.
CONFERENCE HISTORY
13 Years of Peer-Led Convergence
Peerpocalypse was launched by the Mental Health & Addiction Association of Oregon (MHAAO) as a mental health conference in 2013. In 2017, addiction was added as a core component, recognizing that many peers carry lived experience with both mental health and addiction. In 2019, the conference moved temporarily to Salem, Oregon. In 2020 and 2021, it pivoted to a fully virtual format due to COVID-19. In 2022, Peerpocalypse returned to Seaside, Oregon as the first hybrid conference, a format that continues today. The conference remains in Oregon to reduce costs to participants and to stay connected to its origins. The Peer Company now hosts the event.

What is Families Anonymous?
Families Anonymous celebrated our 50th Anniversary in 2021. We were formed in 1971 by a group of concerned parents in California who were seeking ways of dealing with the problem of substance abuse and addiction in their children. Our members include parents, grandparents, siblings, spouses, significant others, other family members and friends of those with a current, suspected or former drug problem. We have been one of the best kept secrets in the recovery community, even though we have groups throughout the world.
Families Anonymous is a 12 Step fellowship for the families and friends who have known a feeling of desperation concerning the destructive behavior of someone very near to them, whether caused by drugs, alcohol, or related behavioral problems. When you come into our rooms you are no longer alone, but among friends who have experienced similar problems. Any concerned person is encouraged to attend our meetings, even if there is only a suspicion of a problem.
Your identity is protected in our meetings. We know each other by our first names only. Anonymity of our members is paramount to the success of our program. Not only is anonymity an underlying principle of the program, but it is so important that it is part of our name.
You have nothing to lose but your pain and anger. Read on if you are ready to find the peace and serenity that our members have found through the working of the FA program.

Based on feedback, two minor edits were made to remove inclusion of the terms “prayer” and “spiritual.”

About the Secular NA
GAMBLERS ANONYMOUS is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from a gambling problem.
The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop gambling.
There are no dues or fees for Gamblers Anonymous membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. Gamblers Anonymous is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any cause. Our primary purpose is to stop gambling and to help other compulsive gamblers do the same.”

Whoever you are and whatever you may be going through, you are welcome on the Warmline! Our caring team of trained peers offers nonjudgmental and confidential peer support every day. No appointments needed! We are here for you!
Our goal is to connect with you, to listen, and to discover together how we can make sense of our experiences. We understand that everyone has a unique worldview. People can see more possibilities for ourselves when we connect with a compassionate peer.
Our Warmline Team members are people who have experienced life challenges – including moods, voices, visions, trauma, and addictions. We know what it is like to feel big feelings or to find ourselves in moments when there seems to be little to hope for. No need to go through this alone… Give us a call! 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.

2026 SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION
Scholarship applications for Peerpocalypse 2026 will open on Monday, February 2nd, and remain open through Friday, February 27th. Scholarships are a core part of Peerpocalypse, helping reduce financial barriers so peers from across Oregon can attend, connect, and share knowledge together. While scholarship applications are not open yet, we wanted to give you a heads up so you can start preparing.
Based on feedback from past attendees, we’ve moved the scholarship application period closer to the conference date as a way to honor people’s changing circumstances and support a more accessible conference experience.
To support this timing change, a limited number of conference tickets will be reserved for scholarship applicants to purchase if general tickets sell out before scholarship notifications are sent.
How to Prepare Now for Scholarships
Below are tips to help you prepare for the scholarship applications opening next week:
The application takes about 20–30 minutes to complete. Applications are reviewed once the application window closes, so there is no advantage to applying early. Take the time you need and just be sure to submit before the deadline.
You will be answering questions focused on your lived experience, connection to peer support, and how attending Peerpocalypse supports your work or recovery journey.
We recommend starting to gather a brief written response about why attending Peerpocalypse matters to you and notes on your peer role, lived experience, or community involvement, and organization size (if applicable to you).
We’ll share application links in next week’s newsletter and you will be able to find the application link on our site as well as social media.
Start reflecting on your peer journey and experiences, and know that we’re excited to support your path to Peerpocalypse.

Peerpocalypse is a national convergence of peer leaders, emerging leaders, innovators, and peers who want to become more involved in the peer support community. The event adopts the philosophy that peers bring a great deal of knowledge and expertise — and that this knowledge should be shared for the betterment of the movement. Allies are welcome. Participants may encounter workshop topics that are edgy or uncomfortable. That’s okay — lean into the discomfort and learn.
This year’s theme, Rooted & Rising, honors where the peer movement has come from — its grassroots beginnings, its resilience, and the deep community connections that ground it. As the movement continues to grow, it carries those roots forward, using lived experience and collective wisdom to shape the future of peer support. Rooted & Rising invites everyone to celebrate how far the community has come and to reach higher together.

WHY PEERPOCALYPSE MATTERS
Supporting Peer-Led Services and the Peer Movement
Peerpocalypse exists because decisions about the peer community continue to be made without peers at the table. Too many members of the community are unemployed or underemployed. Members of the peer community die 25 years earlier than the general population. Nearly a quarter of people who are incarcerated experience mental health challenges, and approximately 50% meet criteria for substance use disorder. Addiction extends beyond substance use to include gambling and other process addictions, and too many community members live in poverty.
Peerpocalypse exists to remind the community there is hope, to awaken energy, to share what works, and to demonstrate that when peers come together, they can turn the way things are into the way they should be. Nothing reinforces community strength more than being in one place together.
CONFERENCE HISTORY
13 Years of Peer-Led Convergence
Peerpocalypse was launched by the Mental Health & Addiction Association of Oregon (MHAAO) as a mental health conference in 2013. In 2017, addiction was added as a core component, recognizing that many peers carry lived experience with both mental health and addiction. In 2019, the conference moved temporarily to Salem, Oregon. In 2020 and 2021, it pivoted to a fully virtual format due to COVID-19. In 2022, Peerpocalypse returned to Seaside, Oregon as the first hybrid conference, a format that continues today. The conference remains in Oregon to reduce costs to participants and to stay connected to its origins. The Peer Company now hosts the event.
