How Events are Sorted:
First, at the top of the list: Disaster Hotline & Oregon Safe + Strong Helpline.
Next in the list: Bundled “All Day” Events for organizations with events happening at multiple times throughout the day and/or in many formats or locations; these are bundled into a single listing to prevent endless scrolling. Usually these offer a lookup by zip code or other criteria.
Lastly, Time-Specific Events listed by start time from 12:01am early morning to 11:59pm late night. Warmlines and places east of Oregon’s time zone tend to start earlier (e.g. 4am in Oregon is 7am in New York).

Military Child Education Coalition Resources to Support Ukrainian Military Children & Their Families
As the situation on the ground in Ukraine continues to evolve, and military families deal with potential deployments, we are reminded of the many uncertainties military-connected children experience as a part of the military lifestyle. We are also reminded of the stress and insecurity that can accompany such unpredictable circumstances.
For 24 years, MCEC® has worked to establish programs and resources for parents, educators, and students to help them navigate unique challenges associated with the military lifestyle. Programs like our Student 2 Student® peer-to-peer support system, parent workshops, and professional development for educators all work together to more effectively respond to the unique emotional needs of military children.
MCEC® is also answering the call from our allies. Upon a request from the National Association of Ukrainian Psychologists, seeking resources for serving military families, the American Psychological Association and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences reached out to MCEC®.
We responded with the tools listed below, which, we believe, can be immediately helpful to families during these extremely trying times.

Military Survivor Helpline
Please note this program is specifically designed for survivors grieving the death of a military loved one.
Individual grief counseling is important to many survivors in our grief journeys. The opportunity to sit one-on-one with a skilled therapist who understands grief and trauma can help you work through some of the hardest parts of your loss. Finding the right fit is important, and we can help. The right grief counselor can help you discover strengths, develop your own coping skills, and help you work through questions, changes in relationships, and secondary losses.
We rely on a large network of strong community partners, and we are confident we can connect you with resources specific to your needs. Each resource has been verified and actively supports the TAPS mission. We do careful research and compile resources with love and care.

Military Child Education Coalition Resources to Support Ukrainian Military Children & Their Families
As the situation on the ground in Ukraine continues to evolve, and military families deal with potential deployments, we are reminded of the many uncertainties military-connected children experience as a part of the military lifestyle. We are also reminded of the stress and insecurity that can accompany such unpredictable circumstances.
For 24 years, MCEC® has worked to establish programs and resources for parents, educators, and students to help them navigate unique challenges associated with the military lifestyle. Programs like our Student 2 Student® peer-to-peer support system, parent workshops, and professional development for educators all work together to more effectively respond to the unique emotional needs of military children.
MCEC® is also answering the call from our allies. Upon a request from the National Association of Ukrainian Psychologists, seeking resources for serving military families, the American Psychological Association and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences reached out to MCEC®.
We responded with the tools listed below, which, we believe, can be immediately helpful to families during these extremely trying times.

ROCC Mission Statement
Recovery Outreach Community Center (ROCC), is a safe place for people recovering from or who are interested in mental health, addiction, trauma, or other related issues. Our mission is to empower and respect others through peer-led service and peer-to-peer support. We want to encourage self-direction, personal responsibility and hope, by providing a safe place for people to share story and heal.
ROCC Principles
Principle I
The source of ROCC’s power is peer-to-peer relations. By sharing stories and experiences, we lead each other into hope.
Principle II
Self-direction and personal recovery is ROCC’s goal. To be able to lead, control, and choose your own recovery path will achieve a self-determined life.
Principle III
ROCC requires respectful conduct and encourages the voice of all. We must instill hope in the individual while fulfilling the values of the group.

About fees:
Many of us are on fixed incomes and unable to pay fees at this time – please come anyway! If you can pay a fee, know that it makes a difference and helps us cover our costs. The break-even fee (what it costs us to provide the service) is $10 per person and our system allows for a sliding scale. If you are going to pay a fee, please pay the amount (more or less) depending on your life circumstances.
If you are able to pay a fee, please go to:

If this is your first time connecting with The Trauma Healing Project, a welcome registration is requested as well at: https://healingattention.org/welcome

Using Zoom:
- If you’ve never used Zoom on your device, clicking on the link will take you to a download page for the app you’ll need to install. Once you do that it should be a one-step process each time afterwards. Sometimes I have to click on the link twice to help it see I actually DO have the app installed. Feel free to do it ahead of time when you have a minute to play with it.
- Once you get in to zoom via the link, you’ll be in a waiting room. One of the group facilitators will let you in to the main room.
- It’s fine to use a phone and the dial in number to call in to the group, but using the phone (for audio) and a computer (for video) at the same time can be buggy. Let us know if you’ll be needing to do that though, so we can plan well.
- We will NOT be recording the group and no one else will have the ability to either.
Again, please do not hesitate to come because of your financial situation – your presence in the group is priceless and we want you here!
