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.

- Quick Connection
Wait times are usually under 5 minutes. You’ll get a message that a counselor will be with you soon.
- Tell Us What We Need to Know
We’ll ask what to call you, your age, and what state/country you’re in. You don’t need to share your real name or any identifying details.
- Ask Whatever You Need
Share what feels comfortable at your own pace. No pressure. We’ve heard it all before – nothing will shock us.
- Get Support & Resources
We’ll give you accurate info about sexual safety, help you think through next steps, and connect you with resources if you want them.
WHO YOU’LL BE TALKING TO
Our counselors are trained professionals who specialize in:
- Sexual health and development
- Healthy vs. concerning sexual behaviors
- Relationships and consent
- Trauma and abuse prevention
We’re here to help – not to judge, lecture, or pressure you.
What we can do:
✓ Listen and support you
✓ Give accurate information
✓ Help you think through options
✓ Connect you with resources
What we can’t do:
✗ Provide ongoing therapy
✗ Give legal or medical advice
✗ Make referrals to specific local therapists
YOUR PRIVACY IS PROTECTED

Important to know: If you tell us someone is being hurt right now or a crime is happening, we may be legally required to report it. We’ll be upfront with you about this.
WHY WHATSOK IS DIFFERENT
Built BY youth, FOR youth:
We have a Youth Advisory Council (ages 14-21) who help shape our services. They make sure we’re using language that makes sense, covering topics that matter, and creating a space where you actually want to reach out.
No shame, no judgment:
Sexual development is complicated. Having questions is normal. Feeling confused is normal. We get it, and we’re here to help – not to make you feel worse.
Focused on prevention:
We believe that getting help early – when you’re just questioning or concerned – can prevent harm and help you stay on a healthy path. It takes courage to reach out, and we respect that.

WHY WHATSOK IS DIFFERENT
Built BY youth, FOR youth:
We have a Youth Advisory Council (ages 14-21) who help shape our services. They make sure we’re using language that makes sense, covering topics that matter, and creating a space where you actually want to reach out.
No shame, no judgment:
Sexual development is complicated. Having questions is normal. Feeling confused is normal. We get it, and we’re here to help – not to make you feel worse.
Focused on prevention:
We believe that getting help early – when you’re just questioning or concerned – can prevent harm and help you stay on a healthy path. It takes courage to reach out, and we respect that.

Wait times are usually under 5 minutes. You’ll get a message that a counselor will be with you soon.
- Tell Us What We Need to Know
We’ll ask what to call you, your age, and what state/country you’re in. You don’t need to share your real name or any identifying details.

We’ll give you accurate info about sexual safety, help you think through next steps, and connect you with resources if you want them.
WHO YOU’LL BE TALKING TO
Our counselors are trained professionals who specialize in:
- Sexual health and development
- Healthy vs. concerning sexual behaviors
- Relationships and consent
- Trauma and abuse prevention
We’re here to help – not to judge, lecture, or pressure you.
What we can do:
✓ Listen and support you
✓ Give accurate information
✓ Help you think through options
✓ Connect you with resources
What we can’t do:
✗ Provide ongoing therapy
✗ Give legal or medical advice
✗ Make referrals to specific local therapists
YOUR PRIVACY IS PROTECTED
Everything is confidential:
- We don’t use caller or text IDs
- Chat IP addresses are invisible to us
- You don’t need to give your real name
- You don’t need to share addresses or phone numbers
Important to know: If you tell us someone is being hurt right now or a crime is happening, we may be legally required to report it. We’ll be upfront with you about this.
WHY WHATSOK IS DIFFERENT
Built BY youth, FOR youth:
We have a Youth Advisory Council (ages 14-21) who help shape our services. They make sure we’re using language that makes sense, covering topics that matter, and creating a space where you actually want to reach out.
No shame, no judgment:
Sexual development is complicated. Having questions is normal. Feeling confused is normal. We get it, and we’re here to help – not to make you feel worse.
Focused on prevention:
We believe that getting help early – when you’re just questioning or concerned – can prevent harm and help you stay on a healthy path. It takes courage to reach out, and we respect that.
ABOUT WHATSOK
