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.

Supporting the Slavic-speaking population

Slavic Oregon Social Services (formerly ROSS) was established by Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon (EMO) in 1994 to serve the needs of Slavic-speaking refugees and immigrants. More than 100,000 Slavic-speaking refugees and immigrants from the former Soviet Union currently reside in the Portland metro area, and the numbers are expected to increase. Census figures show that no other place in the nation has had more of an influx from the former Soviet Union than the Pacific Northwest. Oregon is number two in the nation for Slavic-speaking newcomers.

Our Services

> Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Services:
Our services include crisis intervention, long-term case management, individualized resource planning/referrals, advocacy, assistance obtaining protective orders and communication with law enforcement, emotional support, mental health counseling, safety planning, assistance accessing low-cost / free legal services, assistance with temporary / transitional housing, short-term financial assistance and support groups.

Other programs may become available in the future; call us or check our website for updates.

Our mission is to successfully integrate Slavic-speaking immigrants and refugees into Oregon and southwest Washington communities by providing services that increase independence, enable economic self-sufficiency, and improve mental and physical well-being. We are currently the only agency that works exclusively with the Slavic-speaking population in Multnomah, Clackamas, Washington and Marion Counties in Oregon, and Clark County in southwest Washington.

Slavic Oregon Social Services has been fulfilling its mission in many different areas. Strong partnerships with local social services agencies, victim service and healthcare providers, and government agencies have been a great asset in pursuing our goals. Our experienced bilingual and bicultural staff is another invaluable asset, allowing us to identify and meet the needs of the Slavic-speaking population. Strong working relationships with the Slavic-speaking community that we have been forging since 1994 enable us to build high levels of mutuality, respect and trust, and provide culturally-appropriate and language-specific services that have a meaningful impact.

All our services are free and confidential.

Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon’s Slavic Oregon Social Services operates its program, services and activities in compliance with federal nondiscrimination laws. No person shall, on the basis of race, color, national origin (including limited English proficiency), disability, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation or age, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any of our programs.

Crisis / Support Line For Racial Equity Support

503-575-3764
Answered by BIPOC counselors 
M-F from 8:30 AM -5:00 PM PST

The Racial Equity Support Line is a service led and staffed by people with lived experience of racism. We offer support to those who are feeling the emotional impacts of racist violence and microaggressions, as well as the emotional impacts of immigration struggles and other cross-cultural issues.

Many of us experience racism every day.

Unfortunately, we live in a culture where racist acts happen often. From workplaces to housing to healthcare, we know that our communities aren’t getting the same kind of treatment as others.

Experiencing racism can harm our mental wellness.

Whether in small acts, or violent ones, racial bias can have serious emotional impacts. Racism changes how we see the world around us. It’s stressful to worry about how people see us as different or dangerous. It’s exhausting to notice the ways that people treat us as less-than, day in and day out. It’s heartbreaking to turn on the news and learn about more violence against people who look like us.

We get it. And we’re here to talk. To support. To connect.

The person who answers may be a stranger – but we understand what you’re going through. We’ll listen to your situation as you talk through your feelings, and we may offer resources based on what seems most helpful to you.

Call us today at 503-575-3764.

This line is available weekdays from 8:30am to 5pm, Pacific Standard Time.

If you have questions or want to reach the Director of Equity Initiatives, please email Donna Harrell at DonnaH@linesforlife.org.

If you need toll-free access, call any line at Lines for Life and ask to be transferred to the Racial Equity Support Line during its operating hours.

Supporting the Slavic-speaking population

Slavic Oregon Social Services (formerly ROSS) was established by Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon (EMO) in 1994 to serve the needs of Slavic-speaking refugees and immigrants. More than 100,000 Slavic-speaking refugees and immigrants from the former Soviet Union currently reside in the Portland metro area, and the numbers are expected to increase. Census figures show that no other place in the nation has had more of an influx from the former Soviet Union than the Pacific Northwest. Oregon is number two in the nation for Slavic-speaking newcomers.

Our Services

> Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Services:
Our services include crisis intervention, long-term case management, individualized resource planning/referrals, advocacy, assistance obtaining protective orders and communication with law enforcement, emotional support, mental health counseling, safety planning, assistance accessing low-cost / free legal services, assistance with temporary / transitional housing, short-term financial assistance and support groups.

Other programs may become available in the future; call us or check our website for updates.

Our mission is to successfully integrate Slavic-speaking immigrants and refugees into Oregon and southwest Washington communities by providing services that increase independence, enable economic self-sufficiency, and improve mental and physical well-being. We are currently the only agency that works exclusively with the Slavic-speaking population in Multnomah, Clackamas, Washington and Marion Counties in Oregon, and Clark County in southwest Washington.

Slavic Oregon Social Services has been fulfilling its mission in many different areas. Strong partnerships with local social services agencies, victim service and healthcare providers, and government agencies have been a great asset in pursuing our goals. Our experienced bilingual and bicultural staff is another invaluable asset, allowing us to identify and meet the needs of the Slavic-speaking population. Strong working relationships with the Slavic-speaking community that we have been forging since 1994 enable us to build high levels of mutuality, respect and trust, and provide culturally-appropriate and language-specific services that have a meaningful impact.

All our services are free and confidential.

Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon’s Slavic Oregon Social Services operates its program, services and activities in compliance with federal nondiscrimination laws. No person shall, on the basis of race, color, national origin (including limited English proficiency), disability, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation or age, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any of our programs.

Crisis / Support Line For Racial Equity Support

503-575-3764
Answered by BIPOC counselors 
M-F from 8:30 AM -5:00 PM PST

The Racial Equity Support Line is a service led and staffed by people with lived experience of racism. We offer support to those who are feeling the emotional impacts of racist violence and microaggressions, as well as the emotional impacts of immigration struggles and other cross-cultural issues.

Many of us experience racism every day.

Unfortunately, we live in a culture where racist acts happen often. From workplaces to housing to healthcare, we know that our communities aren’t getting the same kind of treatment as others.

Experiencing racism can harm our mental wellness.

Whether in small acts, or violent ones, racial bias can have serious emotional impacts. Racism changes how we see the world around us. It’s stressful to worry about how people see us as different or dangerous. It’s exhausting to notice the ways that people treat us as less-than, day in and day out. It’s heartbreaking to turn on the news and learn about more violence against people who look like us.

We get it. And we’re here to talk. To support. To connect.

The person who answers may be a stranger – but we understand what you’re going through. We’ll listen to your situation as you talk through your feelings, and we may offer resources based on what seems most helpful to you.

Call us today at 503-575-3764.
