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 Alternatives to Suicide movement is a peer-based support approach for individuals grappling with suicidal thoughts, grounded in lived experience and mutual support rather than clinical intervention. Founded by the Wildflower Alliance (formerly known as the Western Massachusetts Recovery Learning Community), the movement challenges traditional suicide prevention models by providing a non-judgmental space where participants can openly discuss their feelings without fear of hospitalization or other clinical responses. This approach is centered on harm reduction and empathy, creating a community where people support one another by sharing personal insights and coping strategies, often outside of traditional clinical settings.
Unlike conventional suicide prevention efforts that may prioritize risk assessment and intervention, Alternatives to Suicide groups emphasize trust, autonomy, and authenticity. Group facilitators, many of whom have their own lived experiences with suicide ideation, encourage participants to explore their thoughts and emotions without judgment. Sessions cover a range of topics, including grief, self-worth, and other personal struggles, while fostering long-term relationships that extend beyond the group. This emphasis on community and ongoing support aims to empower individuals to find meaning and resilience amid personal crises.
The Alternatives to Suicide model has gained traction internationally, as it represents a shift from risk-focused suicide prevention to a model that prioritizes connection, transparency, and the individual’s own agency. Many participants and advocates see this as a more humane approach, reducing the stigma around discussing suicide and allowing individuals to openly share their experiences. The movement’s impact is seen in the reduction of isolation among participants, who feel heard and understood in a way that clinical environments often don’t allow.
