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.

Because I Love You
Thursdays 5PM PST
We offer B.I.L.Y. Parent Support Group Meetings via Zoom five times a week for both California and out-of-state parents.
MEETING TIMES (PST)
- Mondays – 7 PM
- Tuesdays – 5 PM & 7 PM
- Wednesdays – 7 PM
- Thursdays – 5 PM
To join a group, please Email Dennis for details, the Zoom Meeting ID, and the password.
ABOUT US
Our Founder, Dennis Poncher, began the Because I Love You, Parent and Youth Support Groups, in 1982 out of a need to help his own family. Since then, Dennis has poured his life into helping other families in crises. Our support group meetings are attended by parents who have children (of all ages) with behavioral issues such as negative attitudes, truancy, drug and/or alcohol abuse, running away, and verbal and physical abuse.
Our program works for both parents and youth, offering support and guidance to improve communication, promote structure and cooperation in the home, and achieve our goal of family preservation. Meetings are run completely by volunteers, and they are a place where families can find support without judgment or feeling embarrassed by situations they may feel they have no control over.
The Because I Love You program produces positive results, all free of charge. Read the testimonials of parents who have attended the support group meetings at How B.I.L.Y. Changed My Life. For over 30 years, thousands of parents have attended our support groups and become “Success Stories” . . . We have seen runaways return home, truants return to school and graduate, children who were dependent on substances become clean and sober, and families that were experiencing crisis and separation reunite!
