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.

A WARMLINE is staffed with Peer Specialists who can offer hope, strength, and knowledge gained from their own personal experiences living with mental health issues and/or substance use disorders.

There are over 150+ WARMLINES throughout the country! Each organization has different hours of operation, some only accept in-state calls while others operate nationwide and will take calls from anywhere. Most are English speaking but there are a growing number of organizations that offer non-English speaking services.

Until WARMLINE.ORG, there was no easy way to locate all of this information. With the database that we have built, you can easily locate WARMLINES that speak your language and that are OPEN NOW if you need someone to talk to.

For Warmlines that are available to out of state callers

Each group is co-facilitated by two volunteers with lived experience of BPD. Facilitators are not licensed health care professionals and do not diagnose, counsel, or give advice.

 

COMMUNITY GUIDELINES

All participants agree to the following guidelines at registration:

 

  1. Your safety and well-being, as well as the safety of the group, is important to us.

  3. Differences are accepted and valued, especially with regard to gender, sexual orientation, identity, race, ethnicity, age, religion, and politics.
  4. Respect confidentiality. No photographs of other participants.
  5. Avoid making assumptions about others’ experience of BPD. No judgment.
  6. Show kindness and compassion for others who are struggling.
  7. All are welcome to share, but participation is optional. No one person should monopolize group time.
  8. Avoid interrupting, which can make other participants feel invalidated.
  9. Avoid explicit expressions of self-harm or trauma, which may be upsetting to others.
  10. If you express concerns about your safety, support will be offered. If emotions escalate and the group is unable to comfort you, you will be encouraged to reach out to your support system or consult with a mental health professional.

A WARMLINE is staffed with Peer Specialists who can offer hope, strength, and knowledge gained from their own personal experiences living with mental health issues and/or substance use disorders.

There are over 150+ WARMLINES throughout the country! Each organization has different hours of operation, some only accept in-state calls while others operate nationwide and will take calls from anywhere. Most are English speaking but there are a growing number of organizations that offer non-English speaking services.

Until WARMLINE.ORG, there was no easy way to locate all of this information. With the database that we have built, you can easily locate WARMLINES that speak your language and that are OPEN NOW if you need someone to talk to.
