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.

ILVSG – International Low Vision Support Group – TeleSupport Group Monthly – Contact for Once a Month Meeting Date
May 22 all-day
ILVSG  - International Low Vision Support Group - TeleSupport Group Monthly - Contact for Once a Month Meeting Date

ILVSG TeleSupport

Monthly Group Support Sessions Held Over the Telephone

Contact the provider for the monthly meeting day

 

Description: ILVSG TeleSupport is a year-round program of monthly group support sessions held over the telephone. It is designed for low vision seniors in the United States who have no access to an in-person support group. A session typically includes a brief update on recent research and developments, followed by listening to and discussing the current month’s recorded ILVSG presentation. Each session includes the moderator and an average of 8-12 registered members.

Cost: Absolutely FREE!

Why Are We Doing This?

Information and human interaction are vital to maintaining quality of life when dealing with loss of vision. But, due to disability, lack of transportation, lack of Internet access, or inaccessibility of a live group, a large number of low vision seniors are being left out. This program is our way of reaching those people with the same resources and support we have been sharing with millions of others since 1998 through our website and public outreach programs.

Sponsor: Macular Degeneration Foundation

Moderator: Dan Roberts, Founding Director, Macular Degeneration Support

Presenters: Leading speakers on the topics of low vision care, research, low vision products, rehabilitation, and daily living with low vision.

Obligations of Membership: None. There are no attendance requirements, contracts, fees or required purchases.
How to Become a Member in 3 Easy Steps

Step 1: Email us at director@mdsupport.org or call 1-816-588-7747 with your name, email address (if one exists), and your phone number. Also, include your choice of a meeting time as seen below.

Step 2: The TeleSupport moderator, Dan Roberts, will invite you to be a guest at an upcoming session. He will give you the call-in number and the passcode to enter one of three identical 45-minute sessions. The times from which to choose are:

 

Pacific Mountain Central Eastern
7:00 AM 8:00 AM 9:00 AM 10:00 AM
9:00 AM 10:00 AM 11:00 AM 12:00 Noon
11:00 AM 12:00 Noon 1:00 PM 2:00 PM

 

Step 3: Make note of the time you have chosen, the call-in number, and the passcode. A monthly emailed newsletter will remind you of these numbers and of the dates for upcoming sessions; but if you do not receive email, having the information written on your calendar is a good idea.

LGBT National Senior Hotline
888-234-7243

Saturdays – 9:00AM to 2:00PM PST

 

On the LGBT National Senior Hotline, we provide a confidential safe space where callers of any age can speak about sexual orientation or gender identity/expression issues. This includes coming out issues, relationship concerns, elder abuse, family dynamics, HIV/AIDS anxiety, safer sex information, suicide, and much more.

Sometimes you just need to be heard. We’re here. You deserve respect, support, affirmation, and acceptance.

We don’t give advice, and we never tell you what you should do. Ultimately, those choices are yours to make, but we are here to help you on your journey.

  • Our highly trained & dedicated LGBTQIA+ volunteers are here to provide free & confidential services.
  • We offer support, information, and local resources throughout the United States and beyond.
  • We don’t report calls to outside organizations.
  • We answer all of our own calls, we don’t outsource.

 

Calling the Senior Hotline

We provide a safe space while on a call.

All of our peer support volunteers are trained and identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Our calls are confidential. We don’t know who you are.

There are no recordings made of your conversation.

If you would like us to search for local resources near you, we might ask for your zip code/postal code or city, state, or country. We will never ask for your exact address.

Sometimes our conversations can be heavy, and a person might need to end the call. That’s ok. You will not be judged, and we’re very glad you spoke to us for the amount of time you did.

We don’t call other suicide hotlines, 911, or rescue services on your behalf. While we will not make those calls for you, we will do our best to provide you with the phone numbers to call for yourself if you choose, and we will stay on the line if you like (The exception is if you make a credible threat to someone else).

If you attempt to start a call during open hours and can’t get through, that means that all of our volunteers are currently talking with other people. Please try back in a few minutes. Should you still not be able to get through, you are always welcome to email us at help@LGBThotline.org.

We provide a confidential safe space where callers of any age can speak about sexual orientation or gender identity/expression issues. This includes coming out issues, relationship concerns, family, bullying, school issues, HIV/AIDS anxiety, safer sex information, suicide, and much more.

Sometimes you just need to be heard. We’re here. You deserve respect, support, affirmation, and acceptance.

We don’t give advice, and we never tell you what you should do. Ultimately, those choices are yours to make, but we are here to help you on your journey.

  • Our highly trained & dedicated LGBTQIA+ volunteers are here to provide free & confidential services.
  • We offer support, information, and local resources throughout the United States and beyond.
  • We don’t report calls to outside organizations.
  • We answer all of our own calls, we don’t outsource.

We provide a safe space while on a call.

All of our peer support volunteers are trained and identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Our calls are confidential. We don’t know who you are.

There are no recordings made of your conversation.

If you would like us to search for local resources near you, we might ask for your zip code/postal code or city, state, or country. We will never ask for your exact address.

Sometimes our conversations can be heavy, and a person might need to end the call. That’s ok. You will not be judged, and we’re very glad you spoke to us for the amount of time you did.

We don’t call other suicide hotlines, 911, or rescue services on your behalf. While we will not make those calls for you, we will do our best to provide you with the phone numbers to call for yourself if you choose, and we will stay on the line if you like (The exception is if you make a credible threat to someone else).

If you attempt to start a call during open hours and can’t get through, that means that all of our volunteers are currently talking with other people. Please try back in a few minutes. Should you still not be able to get through, you are always welcome to email us at help@LGBThotline.org.

ILVSG TeleSupport

Monthly Group Support Sessions Held Over the Telephone

Contact the provider for the monthly meeting day

 

Description: ILVSG TeleSupport is a year-round program of monthly group support sessions held over the telephone. It is designed for low vision seniors in the United States who have no access to an in-person support group. A session typically includes a brief update on recent research and developments, followed by listening to and discussing the current month’s recorded ILVSG presentation. Each session includes the moderator and an average of 8-12 registered members.

Cost: Absolutely FREE!

Why Are We Doing This?

Information and human interaction are vital to maintaining quality of life when dealing with loss of vision. But, due to disability, lack of transportation, lack of Internet access, or inaccessibility of a live group, a large number of low vision seniors are being left out. This program is our way of reaching those people with the same resources and support we have been sharing with millions of others since 1998 through our website and public outreach programs.

Sponsor: Macular Degeneration Foundation

Moderator: Dan Roberts, Founding Director, Macular Degeneration Support

Presenters: Leading speakers on the topics of low vision care, research, low vision products, rehabilitation, and daily living with low vision.

Obligations of Membership: None. There are no attendance requirements, contracts, fees or required purchases.
How to Become a Member in 3 Easy Steps

Step 1: Email us at director@mdsupport.org or call 1-816-588-7747 with your name, email address (if one exists), and your phone number. Also, include your choice of a meeting time as seen below.

Step 2: The TeleSupport moderator, Dan Roberts, will invite you to be a guest at an upcoming session. He will give you the call-in number and the passcode to enter one of three identical 45-minute sessions. The times from which to choose are:

ILVSG  - International Low Vision Support Group - TeleSupport Group Monthly - Contact for Once a Month Meeting Date

ILVSG TeleSupport

Monthly Group Support Sessions Held Over the Telephone

Contact the provider for the monthly meeting day

 

Description: ILVSG TeleSupport is a year-round program of monthly group support sessions held over the telephone. It is designed for low vision seniors in the United States who have no access to an in-person support group. A session typically includes a brief update on recent research and developments, followed by listening to and discussing the current month’s recorded ILVSG presentation. Each session includes the moderator and an average of 8-12 registered members.

Cost: Absolutely FREE!

Why Are We Doing This?

Information and human interaction are vital to maintaining quality of life when dealing with loss of vision. But, due to disability, lack of transportation, lack of Internet access, or inaccessibility of a live group, a large number of low vision seniors are being left out. This program is our way of reaching those people with the same resources and support we have been sharing with millions of others since 1998 through our website and public outreach programs.

Sponsor: Macular Degeneration Foundation

Moderator: Dan Roberts, Founding Director, Macular Degeneration Support

Presenters: Leading speakers on the topics of low vision care, research, low vision products, rehabilitation, and daily living with low vision.

Obligations of Membership: None. There are no attendance requirements, contracts, fees or required purchases.
How to Become a Member in 3 Easy Steps

Step 1: Email us at director@mdsupport.org or call 1-816-588-7747 with your name, email address (if one exists), and your phone number. Also, include your choice of a meeting time as seen below.

Step 2: The TeleSupport moderator, Dan Roberts, will invite you to be a guest at an upcoming session. He will give you the call-in number and the passcode to enter one of three identical 45-minute sessions. The times from which to choose are:

 

Pacific Mountain Central Eastern
7:00 AM 8:00 AM 9:00 AM 10:00 AM
9:00 AM 10:00 AM 11:00 AM 12:00 Noon
11:00 AM 12:00 Noon 1:00 PM 2:00 PM

 

Step 3: Make note of the time you have chosen, the call-in number, and the passcode. A monthly emailed newsletter will remind you of these numbers and of the dates for upcoming sessions; but if you do not receive email, having the information written on your calendar is a good idea.

ILVSG TeleSupport

Monthly Group Support Sessions Held Over the Telephone

Contact the provider for the monthly meeting day

 

Description: ILVSG TeleSupport is a year-round program of monthly group support sessions held over the telephone. It is designed for low vision seniors in the United States who have no access to an in-person support group. A session typically includes a brief update on recent research and developments, followed by listening to and discussing the current month’s recorded ILVSG presentation. Each session includes the moderator and an average of 8-12 registered members.

Cost: Absolutely FREE!

Why Are We Doing This?

Information and human interaction are vital to maintaining quality of life when dealing with loss of vision. But, due to disability, lack of transportation, lack of Internet access, or inaccessibility of a live group, a large number of low vision seniors are being left out. This program is our way of reaching those people with the same resources and support we have been sharing with millions of others since 1998 through our website and public outreach programs.

Sponsor: Macular Degeneration Foundation

Moderator: Dan Roberts, Founding Director, Macular Degeneration Support

Presenters: Leading speakers on the topics of low vision care, research, low vision products, rehabilitation, and daily living with low vision.

Obligations of Membership: None. There are no attendance requirements, contracts, fees or required purchases.
How to Become a Member in 3 Easy Steps

Step 1: Email us at director@mdsupport.org or call 1-816-588-7747 with your name, email address (if one exists), and your phone number. Also, include your choice of a meeting time as seen below.

Step 2: The TeleSupport moderator, Dan Roberts, will invite you to be a guest at an upcoming session. He will give you the call-in number and the passcode to enter one of three identical 45-minute sessions. The times from which to choose are:

 

Pacific Mountain Central Eastern
7:00 AM 8:00 AM 9:00 AM 10:00 AM
9:00 AM 10:00 AM 11:00 AM 12:00 Noon
11:00 AM 12:00 Noon 1:00 PM 2:00 PM

 

Step 3: Make note of the time you have chosen, the call-in number, and the passcode. A monthly emailed newsletter will remind you of these numbers and of the dates for upcoming sessions; but if you do not receive email, having the information written on your calendar is a good idea.

There can be times when using the phone to find support might not feel safe or comfortable.

We provide a confidential space online. Here you can connect with a trained LGBTQIA+ peer support volunteer to have a web-based conversation. We discuss many different issues and concerns including, but not limited to, coming out issues, gender and/or sexuality identities, relationship concerns, bullying, workplace issues, HIV/AIDS anxiety, safer-sex information, suicide, and much more.

Along with peer support, listening, and affirmation, our volunteers can access the largest LGBTQIA+ resource database of its kind in the world (www.LGBTnearMe.org) to provide additional resources.

Hotline calls can be answered from the United States and Canada, while online chats are available from anywhere in the world. As long as you have access to our website and are able to have a conversation in English, we are here for you.

Fully staffed by real LGBTQIA+ volunteers, never bots or Ai.
