OREGON HEALTH AUTHORITY — Skin Cancer Awareness

Public Health Education · Cancer Prevention · Sun Safety

“Even on cloudy days, UV rays are working. So should your sunscreen.”

WHY SUN SAFETY MATTERS IN OREGON

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month — and Oregon’s weather can be deceiving. Oregon is known for cloudy skies and rain, but the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays can still harm your skin year-round. Whether you’re at the coast, hiking in Central Oregon, or spending time in the Willamette Valley, sun protection matters every single day.

In May, the UV Index in Oregon can reach levels as high as 10 (Very High) — meaning unprotected skin can burn in fewer than 20 minutes. Clouds do not block UV rays. Even on overcast days, your skin is at risk.

UNDERSTANDING THE UV INDEX

The UV Index is a daily rating that tells you how strong the sun’s UV rays are. Check the rating before heading outside.

• 0–2 (Low): Safe for most people.
• 3–5 (Moderate): Wear sunscreen and sunglasses.
• 6–7 (High): Seek shade during midday hours.
• 8–10 (Very High): Extra protection is needed — limit time outdoors during peak hours.

Quick tip: If your shadow is shorter than you are, the sun’s rays are at their strongest. Find shade and reapply sunscreen right away.

Use the EPA UV Index Search Tool to check today’s UV rating for your area before heading outside. Available 24 hours a day · 7 days a week.

HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF

Good sun safety habits can be simple. Small steps add up and can protect your skin for a lifetime.

• Use broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.
• Reapply sunscreen every two hours, or after swimming or sweating.
• Wear hats, sunglasses, and protective clothing when outdoors.
• Seek shade between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM PT when UV rays are strongest.
• Check the daily UV Index before going outside.

CHECK YOUR SKIN EVERY MONTH

Catching skin cancer early can save your life. A monthly self-check takes just a few minutes. Here’s what to look for:

• New spots or moles.
• Changes in size, color, or shape of existing moles.
• Spots that itch, bleed, or don’t heal.
• Anything that doesn’t look right to you.

If something seems unusual, contact your doctor. Early detection and treatment make a significant difference in outcomes.

NATIONAL EATING DISORDERS ASSOCIATION

www.nationaleatingdisorders.org

The National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) is the largest nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by eating disorders.

In the United States, 28.8 million Americans will suffer from an eating disorder at some point in their lives. Eating disorders are serious but treatable mental and physical illnesses that can affect people of all genders, ages, races, religions, ethnicities, sexual orientations, body shapes, and weights. In fact, eating disorders have the second highest mortality rate of all mental health disorders, surpassed only by opioid use disorder.

Eating disorders are widely misunderstood illnesses and support options are often inaccessible. As a result, too many people are left feeling helpless, hopeless, and frightened. Through our programs and services, NEDA raises awareness, builds communities of support and recovery, funds research, and puts vital resources into the hands of those in need.

Our Mission

NEDA supports individuals and families affected by eating disorders, and serves as a catalyst for prevention, cures and access to quality care.

Our Vision

NEDA envisions a world without eating disorders.

Programs and Services

Whether you have been personally affected by an eating disorder or care about someone who has, NEDA’s programs and services are designed to help you find the help and support you need. Recovery is possible and we’re here to support you!

Screening Tool

This short eating disorders screening — appropriate for ages 13 and up — can help determine if it’s time to seek professional help.

Find Treatment

NEDA has a database of treatment providers across the country. Use our finder tool to locate options near you.

Where Do I Start?

You’ve decided it’s time to seek help and we’re so glad you did. NEDA is here to support you on your journey. These resources can help you take the first step to getting the help you deserve.

How Do I Help?

Having a strong support network is important to recovery. Whether you’re a loved one or a professional, there are steps you can take to offer support.

Free & Low Cost Support

Everyone deserves support for their eating concerns, and NEDA wants to connect you with resources that can help in addition to professional help. These free and low cost support options offer ways to connect with others and provide tools to promote recovery. Please note that these options do not replace professional treatment. We are listing them as additional support options to supplement recovery or maintenance.

Recovery & Relapse

Recovery from an eating disorder can take months, even years. Slips, backslides, and relapse tend to be the rule, rather than the exception. Re-learning normal eating habits and coping skills can take a long period of time and often requires lots of support from professionals, friends, and family. Moving forward is key, however slow it might be.

COVID-19 Resources

Everyone deserves support for their eating concerns, and NEDA wants to connect you with resources that can help in addition to professional help. In this time of great uncertainty and disturbance we face the added danger that isolation brings to those among us who are struggling with an eating disorder. Please refer to this list to explore recovery pathways with virtual support.

How to Cope with Self Harm

Text Connect to 741741 for free confidential Support

We all need healthy ways to cope with the hard stuff. We’re here to help you find a healthy alternative to self-harm.

Understanding Self-Harm

For some people, when depression and anxiety lead to a tornado of emotions, they turn to self-harm looking for a release. Self-harm and self-injury are any forms of hurting oneself to cope. Sometimes, when people self-harm, they do not do so as a suicide attempt. Rather, they inflict pain as a way to release painful emotions.

Common Types of Self-Harm

Self-harm can manifest differently for everyone. And, the ways people may inflict harm upon themselves extend far beyond the usual news media references such as cutting. Simply, self-harm is anything and everything someone can do to purposely hurt their body.

Here are some of the most common types of self-injury:

• Cutting
• Scratching
• Burning
• Carving words or symbols into the skin
• Hitting or punching oneself (including banging one’s head or other body parts against another surface)
• Piercing the skin with sharp objects such as hairpins
• Pulling out hair
• Picking at existing wounds

Recognizing the Signs of Self-Harm

Stigma creates shame and embarrassment, making it hard for people who self harm to get help. So, look out for yourself and for your pals. If you suspect that someone in your life is doing it, here are some warning signs to keep top of mind:

• Scars
• Fresh cuts, burns, scratches, or bruises
• Rubbing an area excessively to create a burn
• Having sharp objects on hand
• Wearing long sleeves or long pants, even in hot weather
• Difficulties with interpersonal relationships
• Persistent questions about personal identity
• Behavioral and emotional instability, impulsiveness, or unpredictability
• Saying that they feel helpless, hopeless, or worthless

Crisis Text Line can help you deal with self-injury. Text a Crisis Counselor at 741741, or use the mobile text button below.

How to Cope With Self-Harm

Emotions can be really painful sometimes. It’s totally normal to need ways to cope with and process the hard things in your life. If you are using harming yourself to manage your emotions, we’re here for you. And, we want to help keep you safe.

Here are some ways to push through, process, and cope with your emotions.

• Text someone you trust or a counselor to help you cool down. If you’re dealing with painful emotions, we’re here to help. Send us a text to connect with a real human and strategize healthy coping mechanisms to manage your emotions. Text CONNECT to 741741 to  reach a real human.
• Get creative.  Did you know that  making art can help people process emotions? So, next time you’re feeling like harming yourself, grab your sharpie and doodle your worries away. A bonus: you can totally suck at it and still reap the same rewards.
• Meditate or breathe deeply. Keeping yourself safe from self-injury is all about finding healthy alternatives to work through the hard stuff. Researchers found taking time to re-center through meditation to be a powerful way to find your cool and calm. Try using an app like Headspace to get on the meditation bandwagon.
• Talk to a professional. Self-injury of any form is serious. And, while the intention behind self-injury usually is not death, it can still be dangerous—both physically and emotionally. Talking to someone who can help you find alternatives is incredibly important. Of course, you can start by texting us. Also, consider telling someone you know who can help you connect with a professional.

Why Do People Self-Harm?

Let’s start with this: everyone needs a way to cope with their emotions. People who have turned to hurting themselves as their coping mechanism to manage their emotions.

So, people might self-harm to:

• Process difficult emotions
• Distract themselves from their negative feelings
• Feel something physical, particularly if they are feeling numb
• Develop a sense of control over their lives
• Punish themselves for perceived faults
• Express emotions that they are unable to share

Effects of Self-Harm

Self-harm can be seriously dangerous—physically, emotionally, socially, all of it.

Physical Effects of Self-Harm

• Permanent scars
• Uncontrolled bleeding
• Risk of infection or severe injury

Emotional Effects of Self-Harm

• Guilt, shame, or emotional numbness
• A diminished sense of self, including feeling helpless or worthless
• Addiction to the behavior

Social Effects of Self-Harm

• Avoiding friends and loved ones
• Becoming ostracized from loved ones who may not understand
• Interpersonal difficulty from lying to others about injuries

Recovering from Self-Harm

A lot of people who self-harm do so because they are dealing with painful emotions. If this applies to you—we believe in you and recognize your pain. Because painful emotions are at the root of it, quite often recovering involves addressing emotions.

Breaking away from the cycle of harming yourself can feel like a huge climb. It involves breaking a habit that has once brought comfort from pain. But, it is not impossible. Here are some steps to set you up for success:

• Understand your triggers. Name your reason for hurting yourself and your reason for quitting. Ask yourself: “What do I feel before, during, and after self-injury? Which of those emotions do I actively seek out, and which are harmful?”
• Replace harmful behaviors. For example, if you harm yourself for the physical sensation, seek other ways of releasing endorphins, like exercise. For real, try throwing a few punches at a kickboxing class or tapping it back in a spin class with the *perfect* playlist. If you SH to express your emotions, practice expressing them in words by writing them down. Grab a pen and your favorite notebook, or start typing away in your notes app.
• Address underlying emotions. Explore the feelings that lead you to want to hurt yourself. If it’s guilt, where is that guilt coming from? Maybe try finding a therapist—there are pros trained specifically to help with this.
• Build a support system. Let a friend, family member, or trusted adult know what you’re going through and that you need their support. Opening up to people can be easier said than done. Here’s a place to start: “I’m having a hard time processing some painful emotions and I could use your support right now.”

Getting healthy—both in your brain and in your body—takes hard work. You got this. And, we believe in you.
