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.

Resources for Dealing with Post-Election Grief
Like many folks, we continue to process the various presidential actions Trump took during his first day of office. The White House’s website lists 46 items, including executive orders, memoranda, and proclamations related to his intention to militarize the U.S.-Mexico border, to restore the pace and scale of fossil fuel extraction and energy production, to end birthright citizenship outlined in the 14th Amendment, to pardon Jan. 6 insurrectionists, to create federal definitions of “women” and “girls” as females and “men” and “boys” as males, defining male and female as biological, binary, and immutable, and to terminate all DEI, accessibility, and environmental justice offices and positions across the federal government, just to name a few. Constitutionally, the President can’t create laws, but the position does have broad authority to direct how the federal agencies enforce the law.
While it remains to be seen what the approval, rollout, and implementation of any of these will look like, we want to reiterate that no matter what happens, we will find ways to show up for the community through mutual aid, peer support, and innovative care practices. Political flashpoints like this have amplified issues that impact us directly, stirring up a range of emotions that can be challenging and anxiety-inducing to hold and sit with. To support you during this time, we’ve curated a selection of resources to help you navigate the post-election period with resilience, self-compassion, and community support.

How To Survive the Election as a Trans Person
Written by Jade Barber for Queerspace
Written in Australia two years ago, this article offers timeless advice for trans people navigating the challenges of election cycles—advice that applies especially to the 2024 U.S. general election. It highlights how elections often amplify anti-trans rhetoric and policies, impacting trans communities’ mental health and safety. The article suggests strategies for protecting one’s well-being, like setting boundaries on political discussions, staying informed selectively, focusing on self-care, and connecting with supportive communities. By prioritizing personal resilience and choosing how and when to engage, trans people can protect themselves from the intense scrutiny and negativity that often accompany election periods.

https://orrecoverycenterhotline.org/
Connecting you to the services you need.
When you call us or chat with us online, you’ll talk to one of our caring, trained Peer Support Specialists. We can help you decide what kind of services you need by asking you a few questions, and we can connect you to them through your local Behavioral Health Resource Network (BHRN). Learn more about the kind of services available to you
Received a fine for possession?
If you received a citation for possessing small amounts of drugs in Oregon (called a “Class E violation”), you can have the fine waived by calling the Oregon Recovery Center Hotline and completing a health assessment.
1. Call us at (833) 975-0505. Our trained Peer Support Specialists will provide a screening for substance use, mental health and other supportive service referrals you might need.
2. Once the screening is complete, we will refer you to appropriate services.
3. We will email you a letter that confirms you have completed the health assessment. Bring it to court to waive your fine.
Harm reduction
Harm reduction saves lives. These services keep people who use drugs, like fentanyl or alcohol, safe by offering non-judgmental care that improves their quality of life and health, prevents and manages injury and disease, and prevents fatal overdoses. Harm reduction honors the dignity and wellbeing of each person.
Treatment
Treatment combines medical care, like supporting people through withdrawal symptoms or starting medication that helps with cravings, with services that help you learn coping skills. Treatment can happen in an inpatient or outpatient setting, and you and your treatment provider decide together what kind of treatment is right for you.
Recovery
Being in recovery means making changes over time that can help you feel better, live life on your own terms, and work toward reaching your goals. Recovery looks different for everyone and might include medication-assisted treatment, self-help or support groups, recovery coaching, or being part of recovery communities.
Supportive services
A person’s recovery is best supported when they have everything they need to live well. In addition to substance use services, services like housing support, employment assistance, and food insecurity services are also available.
Behavioral Health Resource Networks (BHRNs)
Behavioral Health Resource Networks (BHRNs) are networks of organizations that provide trauma-informed, culturally specific services to people who need treatment and support for substance use concerns. The services they provide include screening for substance use disorder, substance use disorder treatment, harm reduction services, and peer support services. They also screen for health and social service needs, including housing support. Each county and Tribal area in Oregon has at least one BHRN.

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.
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 or ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability. It affords similar protections against discrimination to Americans with disabilities as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which made discrimination based on race, religion, sex, national origin, and other characteristics illegal, and later sexual orientation and gender identity. In addition, unlike the Civil Rights Act, the ADA also requires covered employers to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities, and imposes accessibility requirements on public accommodations.

History of MyLifeLine
MyLifeLine was founded in 2007 by Marcia Donziger, who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1997, when she was 27 years old. The Internet existed at the time, but not with the fullness it has now. She recalls feeling overwhelmed by the volume of concern, during a time when she was struggling to fight the cancer inside her. She could not physically return all the phone calls herself and found it emotionally draining to repeat the same information about her condition, over and over. She often felt guilty for not staying in better touch with the people who cared about her.
Marcia saw an opportunity to make a difference for other cancer patients after going through her own cancer journey. She envisioned a central place online where cancer patients could communicate via a personal, secure website, sharing updates, managing practical help, and receiving caring messages. Thus, MyLifeLine was born.
In 2018, the Denver-based nonprofit MyLifeLine.org, a digital community that included thousands of patients, caregivers, and their supporters, saw an opportunity to expand its reach and help even more cancer patients. MyLifeLine merged with the Cancer Support Community, the largest professionally led nonprofit network of cancer support worldwide. The Cancer Support Community is dedicated to ensuring that all people impacted by cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action, and sustained by community.
The addition of MyLifeLine to the Cancer Support Community enables anyone impacted by cancer the ability to connect and transform their cancer experiences through community and connection online, removing barriers of support and access by distance, while also providing additional opportunities to grow digital services that include private discussion forums, virtual programing, and more.

Resources for Dealing with Post-Election Grief
Like many folks, we continue to process the various presidential actions Trump took during his first day of office. The White House’s website lists 46 items, including executive orders, memoranda, and proclamations related to his intention to militarize the U.S.-Mexico border, to restore the pace and scale of fossil fuel extraction and energy production, to end birthright citizenship outlined in the 14th Amendment, to pardon Jan. 6 insurrectionists, to create federal definitions of “women” and “girls” as females and “men” and “boys” as males, defining male and female as biological, binary, and immutable, and to terminate all DEI, accessibility, and environmental justice offices and positions across the federal government, just to name a few. Constitutionally, the President can’t create laws, but the position does have broad authority to direct how the federal agencies enforce the law.
While it remains to be seen what the approval, rollout, and implementation of any of these will look like, we want to reiterate that no matter what happens, we will find ways to show up for the community through mutual aid, peer support, and innovative care practices. Political flashpoints like this have amplified issues that impact us directly, stirring up a range of emotions that can be challenging and anxiety-inducing to hold and sit with. To support you during this time, we’ve curated a selection of resources to help you navigate the post-election period with resilience, self-compassion, and community support.

How To Survive the Election as a Trans Person
Written by Jade Barber for Queerspace
Written in Australia two years ago, this article offers timeless advice for trans people navigating the challenges of election cycles—advice that applies especially to the 2024 U.S. general election. It highlights how elections often amplify anti-trans rhetoric and policies, impacting trans communities’ mental health and safety. The article suggests strategies for protecting one’s well-being, like setting boundaries on political discussions, staying informed selectively, focusing on self-care, and connecting with supportive communities. By prioritizing personal resilience and choosing how and when to engage, trans people can protect themselves from the intense scrutiny and negativity that often accompany election periods.

Connecting you to the services you need.
When you call us or chat with us online, you’ll talk to one of our caring, trained Peer Support Specialists. We can help you decide what kind of services you need by asking you a few questions, and we can connect you to them through your local Behavioral Health Resource Network (BHRN). Learn more about the kind of services available to you
Received a fine for possession?
If you received a citation for possessing small amounts of drugs in Oregon (called a “Class E violation”), you can have the fine waived by calling the Oregon Recovery Center Hotline and completing a health assessment.
1. Call us at (833) 975-0505. Our trained Peer Support Specialists will provide a screening for substance use, mental health and other supportive service referrals you might need.
2. Once the screening is complete, we will refer you to appropriate services.
3. We will email you a letter that confirms you have completed the health assessment. Bring it to court to waive your fine.
Harm reduction
Harm reduction saves lives. These services keep people who use drugs, like fentanyl or alcohol, safe by offering non-judgmental care that improves their quality of life and health, prevents and manages injury and disease, and prevents fatal overdoses. Harm reduction honors the dignity and wellbeing of each person.
Treatment
Treatment combines medical care, like supporting people through withdrawal symptoms or starting medication that helps with cravings, with services that help you learn coping skills. Treatment can happen in an inpatient or outpatient setting, and you and your treatment provider decide together what kind of treatment is right for you.
Recovery
Being in recovery means making changes over time that can help you feel better, live life on your own terms, and work toward reaching your goals. Recovery looks different for everyone and might include medication-assisted treatment, self-help or support groups, recovery coaching, or being part of recovery communities.
Supportive services
A person’s recovery is best supported when they have everything they need to live well. In addition to substance use services, services like housing support, employment assistance, and food insecurity services are also available.
Behavioral Health Resource Networks (BHRNs)
Behavioral Health Resource Networks (BHRNs) are networks of organizations that provide trauma-informed, culturally specific services to people who need treatment and support for substance use concerns. The services they provide include screening for substance use disorder, substance use disorder treatment, harm reduction services, and peer support services. They also screen for health and social service needs, including housing support. Each county and Tribal area in Oregon has at least one BHRN.

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.
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 or ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability. It affords similar protections against discrimination to Americans with disabilities as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which made discrimination based on race, religion, sex, national origin, and other characteristics illegal, and later sexual orientation and gender identity. In addition, unlike the Civil Rights Act, the ADA also requires covered employers to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities, and imposes accessibility requirements on public accommodations.

History of MyLifeLine
MyLifeLine was founded in 2007 by Marcia Donziger, who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1997, when she was 27 years old. The Internet existed at the time, but not with the fullness it has now. She recalls feeling overwhelmed by the volume of concern, during a time when she was struggling to fight the cancer inside her. She could not physically return all the phone calls herself and found it emotionally draining to repeat the same information about her condition, over and over. She often felt guilty for not staying in better touch with the people who cared about her.
Marcia saw an opportunity to make a difference for other cancer patients after going through her own cancer journey. She envisioned a central place online where cancer patients could communicate via a personal, secure website, sharing updates, managing practical help, and receiving caring messages. Thus, MyLifeLine was born.
In 2018, the Denver-based nonprofit MyLifeLine.org, a digital community that included thousands of patients, caregivers, and their supporters, saw an opportunity to expand its reach and help even more cancer patients. MyLifeLine merged with the Cancer Support Community, the largest professionally led nonprofit network of cancer support worldwide. The Cancer Support Community is dedicated to ensuring that all people impacted by cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action, and sustained by community.
The addition of MyLifeLine to the Cancer Support Community enables anyone impacted by cancer the ability to connect and transform their cancer experiences through community and connection online, removing barriers of support and access by distance, while also providing additional opportunities to grow digital services that include private discussion forums, virtual programing, and more.

Resources for Dealing with Post-Election Grief
Like many folks, we continue to process the various presidential actions Trump took during his first day of office. The White House’s website lists 46 items, including executive orders, memoranda, and proclamations related to his intention to militarize the U.S.-Mexico border, to restore the pace and scale of fossil fuel extraction and energy production, to end birthright citizenship outlined in the 14th Amendment, to pardon Jan. 6 insurrectionists, to create federal definitions of “women” and “girls” as females and “men” and “boys” as males, defining male and female as biological, binary, and immutable, and to terminate all DEI, accessibility, and environmental justice offices and positions across the federal government, just to name a few. Constitutionally, the President can’t create laws, but the position does have broad authority to direct how the federal agencies enforce the law.
While it remains to be seen what the approval, rollout, and implementation of any of these will look like, we want to reiterate that no matter what happens, we will find ways to show up for the community through mutual aid, peer support, and innovative care practices. Political flashpoints like this have amplified issues that impact us directly, stirring up a range of emotions that can be challenging and anxiety-inducing to hold and sit with. To support you during this time, we’ve curated a selection of resources to help you navigate the post-election period with resilience, self-compassion, and community support.

How To Survive the Election as a Trans Person
Written by Jade Barber for Queerspace
Written in Australia two years ago, this article offers timeless advice for trans people navigating the challenges of election cycles—advice that applies especially to the 2024 U.S. general election. It highlights how elections often amplify anti-trans rhetoric and policies, impacting trans communities’ mental health and safety. The article suggests strategies for protecting one’s well-being, like setting boundaries on political discussions, staying informed selectively, focusing on self-care, and connecting with supportive communities.

Connecting you to the services you need.
When you call us or chat with us online, you’ll talk to one of our caring, trained Peer Support Specialists.

Learn more about the kind of services available to you
Received a fine for possession?
If you received a citation for possessing small amounts of drugs in Oregon (called a “Class E violation”), you can have the fine waived by calling the Oregon Recovery Center Hotline and completing a health assessment.
1. Call us at (833) 975-0505. Our trained Peer Support Specialists will provide a screening for substance use, mental health and other supportive service referrals you might need.
2. Once the screening is complete, we will refer you to appropriate services.
3. We will email you a letter that confirms you have completed the health assessment. Bring it to court to waive your fine.
Harm reduction
Harm reduction saves lives. These services keep people who use drugs, like fentanyl or alcohol, safe by offering non-judgmental care that improves their quality of life and health, prevents and manages injury and disease, and prevents fatal overdoses. Harm reduction honors the dignity and wellbeing of each person.
Treatment
Treatment combines medical care, like supporting people through withdrawal symptoms or starting medication that helps with cravings, with services that help you learn coping skills. Treatment can happen in an inpatient or outpatient setting, and you and your treatment provider decide together what kind of treatment is right for you.
Recovery
Being in recovery means making changes over time that can help you feel better, live life on your own terms, and work toward reaching your goals. Recovery looks different for everyone and might include medication-assisted treatment, self-help or support groups, recovery coaching, or being part of recovery communities.
Supportive services
A person’s recovery is best supported when they have everything they need to live well. In addition to substance use services, services like housing support, employment assistance, and food insecurity services are also available.
Behavioral Health Resource Networks (BHRNs)
Behavioral Health Resource Networks (BHRNs) are networks of organizations that provide trauma-informed, culturally specific services to people who need treatment and support for substance use concerns. The services they provide include screening for substance use disorder, substance use disorder treatment, harm reduction services, and peer support services. They also screen for health and social service needs, including housing support. Each county and Tribal area in Oregon has at least one BHRN.

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.
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 or ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability. It affords similar protections against discrimination to Americans with disabilities as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which made discrimination based on race, religion, sex, national origin, and other characteristics illegal, and later sexual orientation and gender identity. In addition, unlike the Civil Rights Act, the ADA also requires covered employers to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities, and imposes accessibility requirements on public accommodations.

History of MyLifeLine
MyLifeLine was founded in 2007 by Marcia Donziger, who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1997, when she was 27 years old. The Internet existed at the time, but not with the fullness it has now. She recalls feeling overwhelmed by the volume of concern, during a time when she was struggling to fight the cancer inside her. She could not physically return all the phone calls herself and found it emotionally draining to repeat the same information about her condition, over and over. She often felt guilty for not staying in better touch with the people who cared about her.
Marcia saw an opportunity to make a difference for other cancer patients after going through her own cancer journey. She envisioned a central place online where cancer patients could communicate via a personal, secure website, sharing updates, managing practical help, and receiving caring messages. Thus, MyLifeLine was born.
In 2018, the Denver-based nonprofit MyLifeLine.org, a digital community that included thousands of patients, caregivers, and their supporters, saw an opportunity to expand its reach and help even more cancer patients. MyLifeLine merged with the Cancer Support Community, the largest professionally led nonprofit network of cancer support worldwide. The Cancer Support Community is dedicated to ensuring that all people impacted by cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action, and sustained by community.
The addition of MyLifeLine to the Cancer Support Community enables anyone impacted by cancer the ability to connect and transform their cancer experiences through community and connection online, removing barriers of support and access by distance, while also providing additional opportunities to grow digital services that include private discussion forums, virtual programing, and more.

Resources for Dealing with Post-Election Grief
Like many folks, we continue to process the various presidential actions Trump took during his first day of office. The White House’s website lists 46 items, including executive orders, memoranda, and proclamations related to his intention to militarize the U.S.-Mexico border, to restore the pace and scale of fossil fuel extraction and energy production, to end birthright citizenship outlined in the 14th Amendment, to pardon Jan. 6 insurrectionists, to create federal definitions of “women” and “girls” as females and “men” and “boys” as males, defining male and female as biological, binary, and immutable, and to terminate all DEI, accessibility, and environmental justice offices and positions across the federal government, just to name a few. Constitutionally, the President can’t create laws, but the position does have broad authority to direct how the federal agencies enforce the law.
While it remains to be seen what the approval, rollout, and implementation of any of these will look like, we want to reiterate that no matter what happens, we will find ways to show up for the community through mutual aid, peer support, and innovative care practices. Political flashpoints like this have amplified issues that impact us directly, stirring up a range of emotions that can be challenging and anxiety-inducing to hold and sit with. To support you during this time, we’ve curated a selection of resources to help you navigate the post-election period with resilience, self-compassion, and community support.
