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.

Affected By Addiction Support Group

24/7

The mission of Affected By Addiction is to ensure a safe space and reduce the stigma for the nearly 1 in 2 American family households affected by substance use disorder while using connection as a catalyst to provide support and to deliver meaningful change through civic engagement.

The main purpose of this group is to give a safe space and support for anyone that has a loved one in active addiction, for individuals in recovery, or for anyone in active addiction themselves.
This is a private group, so nothing you post will be seen by anyone outside of this group. We will from time to time bring in licensed therapists, doctors, authors, and other addiction experts for live chats, and to act as temporary moderators to help with those who need to reach out to a professional.
We do not have an association with any treatment centers, as the industry itself can be tough to navigate because of good and bad actors within the industry. We do not accept compensation or gifts from any treatment centers.

Here are some best practices when looking for treatment:

– look for treatment center (rehabs) that are accredited by both JACHO and CARF.
– ask those you know that have had good experiences on recommendations.
– when looking into a treatment center, look at their reviews, and make sure that they have legitimate reviews.
And remember, there are all forms of “treatment”, for some that may look like typical 90 inpatient facility, for others it may be AA, church, Smart Recovery and other peer to peer models.
While the main purpose of this group is to give support to those struggling with someone in active addiction, we also have parents and family members of relatives who have sustained long term recovery, as well as those who have lost loved ones to addiction. This helps provide the elements of support needed for everyone in this group.

Together we can heal, and together we can spread and advocate for recovery!

JOIN GROUP

Inner Compass Initiative believes that within each and every person lies an innate wisdom — an “inner compass.” This wisdom helps us navigate the difficulties of being human in a confusing world. For many who have lived out the medical model of “mental illness” and its various pharmaceutical, institutional, legal, and professionalized apparatuses, connection to this inner wisdom can often be forgotten, lost, or taken away. Our mission is to help people find their way back to this inner compass, so they can take fresh steps into a new future based on that wisdom.
The aim of Inner Compass Conversations is to provide a space where we can talk about the immediate and longer-term concerns, challenges, and questions facing our community when it comes to psychiatric drugs and associated diagnoses. On an ongoing basis, we’ll also bring in the voices of guests to share a wide range of additional experiences and insights as well. Inner Compass Conversations Facebook group is a closed online space where our community can support each other – engaging together in discussion and dialogue about questions we’re facing, along with topics explored in our weekly video conversations and online posts.

Who Should and Shouldn’t Join

The Inner Compass Conversations Facebook group welcomes individuals at any stage of psychiatric drug withdrawal (from people currently on psychiatric drugs and considering coming off them, to people who’ve been off them for many years) along with their family, friends, and critically-minded practitioners looking to better support them. More broadly, we also welcome anyone grappling in some way with the problems of today’s mental health system.

This group, however, is not for everyone. If you are someone who currently, firmly believes in any of the below statements with no interest in questioning or rethinking them, we ask that you not join at this time and instead consider exploring the Learn/Unlearn section of the Inner Compass Initiative website:

  • “Forcibly giving people psychiatric drugs against their wills is sometimes necessary for their own good.”

  • “Anyone who feels harmed by psychiatric drugs or who experiences symptoms of withdrawal upon trying to come off them must have been using them “inappropriately,” “abusing” them, or showing signs of being an “addict.”

  • “Licensed medical or clinical professionals are the only people who should speak about general approaches to safe and responsible psychiatric drug tapering.”

  • “Mental disorders have been scientifically proven to be biological diseases that require medical interventions, and the only sources for valid, trustworthy perspectives on mental disorders and treatments are medically trained doctors and mental health professionals.”

  • “People who resist their psychiatric diagnoses or the treatments given to them by medical doctors or mental health professionals only do so because they lack insight into their illnesses.”

  • “It is offensive, irresponsible, and/or dangerous when people publicly challenge the scientific validity of psychiatric diagnoses or the safety and effectiveness of common psychiatric treatments.”

Additionally, no one under the age of 18 may join Inner Compass Conversations. Parents who wish to connect with others about how to better support their child are welcome to join.

Group Pledge

By joining and continuing to participate in the closed Inner Compass Conversations Facebook group, I agree to abide by the following guidelines, and I understand that if I violate the guidelines, I may be dismissed from the group:

  1. I understand that nothing shared in the Inner Compass Conversations Facebook group should be taken as medical advice, and that group admins and members do not claim to be medical professionals.

  2. I understand that Inner Compass Initiative is not anti-doctors or anti-medication, but pro-informed choice.

  3. I understand that it is up to me to always ask questions, do my own research, be my own advocate, and consult with trusted family members or practitioners before making health-related decisions for myself.

  4. I respect the principles of confidentiality and agree not to share anything posted inside Inner Compass Conversations outside of the group unless I have the expressed permission from the one posting the message to do so.

  5. I understand that different people arrive at critical perspectives on all things “mental health” on different timelines, in different ways, from different backgrounds, and accompanied by different experiences, resources, opportunities, and belief systems. I pledge to treat all members of Inner Compass Conversations with respect, care, compassion, and understanding, and to meet respectfully all members wherever they may be on their personal journey – just as I hope and expect for the same respect and understanding from them in return.

  6. I will do my best to speak only from personal experience (e.g. “I did this and this is what happened” or, “This is what I would do if it were me”) and will refrain from giving prescriptive advice or guaranteeing specific outcomes (e.g., “You should do this” or “If you do X, Y will happen”).

  7. I will not make specific, direct recommendations that others start taking supplements, prescription or over-the-counter pharmaceutical drugs, or any kind of psychoactive substance. I understand that the central nervous systems of many people who are on/coming off/off psychiatric drugs are highly sensitized, and that various supplements, drugs, and substances can be destabilizing.

  8. I will not ask other members to share medications, or offer to share medications with other members, nor will I post about illegally obtaining medications or drugs via online sources.

  9. I will not use Inner Compass Conversations to promote professional, commercial, political, or religious services or organizations.

  10. I understand that admins reserve the right to remove any post with or without cause or explanation. I understand that this Pledge may be amended at any time, and that the admins will inform the group of any change

NK – Neurokindred – Peer Support Group – RSVP @ Online Register for Details
Feb 7 all-day

 

 

Peer Support Group

Welcome to Neurokindred’s Online Autistic-led peer support groups.

As Autistic adults, we have often navigated a world feeling isolated and disconnected, our unique experiences not fully understood by those around us. This has been especially true in our interactions with others, including health professionals, where there’s been a notable lack of attunements.

Yet, there’s a hopeful aspect to this shared journey:
the powerful connection that comes from mutual understanding within the Autistic community. This sense of unity fosters belonging, acceptance, and validation.

Peer support groups are a testament to the strength found in shared experiences. Centering lived experience as the dominant narrative has empowering effects.

Research is finally tuning into what many disability, recovery and minority groups have been building for years-the power of shared experience and community. Crane et al. (2020) conducted a qualitative evaluation of an Autistic-led peer group program for late-identified Autistic adults.

 

Over 10 weekly sessions, participants engaged in group discussions on a range of topics, from the implications of late diagnosis, disclosure in different contexts, cross-cultural communication difficulties, emotion regulation, sensory experiences, executive function differences, cognitive flexibility, the intersection of Autism and mental health and self-advocacy.

Interviews with 16 Autistic adults revealed three powerful themes:

  • An Autistic facilitator provided a positive role model for embracing a positive Autistic identity, fostered relational safety and facilitated more open dialogue.
  • The joint sense of community and connection was powerfully affirming.
  • The most significant outcome, that is conducive to well-being, was a shift in perspective towards a positive, strengths-focused Autistic identity.

Our online peer support groups aim to replicate this environment. Led by an Autistic group facilitator, our groups provide a safe haven for exploring and embracing Autistic identity, offering post-identification support, and fostering a recovery-focused approach that celebrates the strengths of being Autistic. We understand that the journey to self-acceptance and community building is unique for each individual, and our groups are tailored to nurture this process.

Join us to experience this accessible service that goes beyond traditional support, one that is rooted in the power of shared experiences and community, designed to enhance well-being and foster a positive Autistic identity. Here, you’re not just joining a group; you’re becoming part of a community that understands, accepts, and celebrates the Autistic way of being.

SHE RECOVERS READS

24/7

Share a passion for books and reading with like-hearted bibliophiles (book lovers) in recovery. This group chooses books to read as a collective and gathers monthly to discuss and connect.
Welcome to the SHE RECOVERS Reads Book Club!
We hope this space can be an opportunity to connect, support, and empower each-other through our shared love of READING in RECOVERY!
Our theme for August is ‘Anti-Racism: What’s Recovery Got to Do With It?’
We will officially kick off SHE RECOVERS Reads with the following books:
Ijemoa Oluo, So You Want to Talk About Race
Toni Morrison, The Bluest Eye
Sonya Renee Taylor, The Body is Not an Apology
We hope these titles may serve as an opportunity to:
– Examine together issues related to race
– Deepen our commitment to dismantling racism and healing the wounds inflicted upon Black, Indigenous, and people of color
– Explore stories of recovery, resilience, and advocacy so we may learn how we can contribute to creating welcoming and supportive spaces for all.
Discussion of the book within this group is casual and can be done in any way that serves you and your recovery! Read one book at a time – or all three at once! You are also welcome to post reflections, questions, insights, edges, create a group discussion event, or go live – we are grateful to be connected through our love of books and learning.

Suicide as a Language of Pain (SLOP)

Fridays, 9:30AM-11:00AM Virtual

For survivors by survivors

Fridays, 9:30AM-11:00AM

Do you ever just want to be able to talk about what’s happening and not be afraid to share? Come join others who live with the pain and want to share hope with each other without judgement or fear of reaction.

Who: Anyone who has ever tried to die by suicide and/or anyone living with thoughts/visions/plans or dreams of suicide; people who want a place to talk about it and feel heard!

What: SLOP is a 90-minute meeting designed and facilitated by survivors for survivors! It provides a space for individuals to come together so they can share their experience, strength, and hope!

Why: Many of us have learned to keep our experiences hidden for fear of others trying to “fix us”, force us to take medications or go into the hospital. As a result, we sometimes feel alone with no one we can trust to just talk about it.

IPS (Intentional Peer Support) principles guide our open conversations about living as a survivor

Affected By Addiction Support Group

24/7

The mission of Affected By Addiction is to ensure a safe space and reduce the stigma for the nearly 1 in 2 American family households affected by substance use disorder while using connection as a catalyst to provide support and to deliver meaningful change through civic engagement.

The main purpose of this group is to give a safe space and support for anyone that has a loved one in active addiction, for individuals in recovery, or for anyone in active addiction themselves.
This is a private group, so nothing you post will be seen by anyone outside of this group. We will from time to time bring in licensed therapists, doctors, authors, and other addiction experts for live chats, and to act as temporary moderators to help with those who need to reach out to a professional.
We do not have an association with any treatment centers, as the industry itself can be tough to navigate because of good and bad actors within the industry. We do not accept compensation or gifts from any treatment centers.

Here are some best practices when looking for treatment:

– look for treatment center (rehabs) that are accredited by both JACHO and CARF.
– ask those you know that have had good experiences on recommendations.
– when looking into a treatment center, look at their reviews, and make sure that they have legitimate reviews.
And remember, there are all forms of “treatment”, for some that may look like typical 90 inpatient facility, for others it may be AA, church, Smart Recovery and other peer to peer models.
While the main purpose of this group is to give support to those struggling with someone in active addiction, we also have parents and family members of relatives who have sustained long term recovery, as well as those who have lost loved ones to addiction. This helps provide the elements of support needed for everyone in this group.

Together we can heal, and together we can spread and advocate for recovery!

Inner Compass Initiative believes that within each and every person lies an innate wisdom — an “inner compass.” This wisdom helps us navigate the difficulties of being human in a confusing world. For many who have lived out the medical model of “mental illness” and its various pharmaceutical, institutional, legal, and professionalized apparatuses, connection to this inner wisdom can often be forgotten, lost, or taken away. Our mission is to help people find their way back to this inner compass, so they can take fresh steps into a new future based on that wisdom.
The aim of Inner Compass Conversations is to provide a space where we can talk about the immediate and longer-term concerns, challenges, and questions facing our community when it comes to psychiatric drugs and associated diagnoses. On an ongoing basis, we’ll also bring in the voices of guests to share a wide range of additional experiences and insights as well. Inner Compass Conversations Facebook group is a closed online space where our community can support each other – engaging together in discussion and dialogue about questions we’re facing, along with topics explored in our weekly video conversations and online posts.

Who Should and Shouldn’t Join

The Inner Compass Conversations Facebook group welcomes individuals at any stage of psychiatric drug withdrawal (from people currently on psychiatric drugs and considering coming off them, to people who’ve been off them for many years) along with their family, friends, and critically-minded practitioners looking to better support them. More broadly, we also welcome anyone grappling in some way with the problems of today’s mental health system.

This group, however, is not for everyone. If you are someone who currently, firmly believes in any of the below statements with no interest in questioning or rethinking them, we ask that you not join at this time and instead consider exploring the Learn/Unlearn section of the Inner Compass Initiative website:

  • “Forcibly giving people psychiatric drugs against their wills is sometimes necessary for their own good.”

  • “Anyone who feels harmed by psychiatric drugs or who experiences symptoms of withdrawal upon trying to come off them must have been using them “inappropriately,” “abusing” them, or showing signs of being an “addict.”

  • “Licensed medical or clinical professionals are the only people who should speak about general approaches to safe and responsible psychiatric drug tapering.”

  • “Mental disorders have been scientifically proven to be biological diseases that require medical interventions, and the only sources for valid, trustworthy perspectives on mental disorders and treatments are medically trained doctors and mental health professionals.”

  • “People who resist their psychiatric diagnoses or the treatments given to them by medical doctors or mental health professionals only do so because they lack insight into their illnesses.”

  • “It is offensive, irresponsible, and/or dangerous when people publicly challenge the scientific validity of psychiatric diagnoses or the safety and effectiveness of common psychiatric treatments.”

Additionally, no one under the age of 18 may join Inner Compass Conversations. Parents who wish to connect with others about how to better support their child are welcome to join.

Group Pledge

By joining and continuing to participate in the closed Inner Compass Conversations Facebook group, I agree to abide by the following guidelines, and I understand that if I violate the guidelines, I may be dismissed from the group:

  1. I understand that nothing shared in the Inner Compass Conversations Facebook group should be taken as medical advice, and that group admins and members do not claim to be medical professionals.

  2. I understand that Inner Compass Initiative is not anti-doctors or anti-medication, but pro-informed choice.

  3. I understand that it is up to me to always ask questions, do my own research, be my own advocate, and consult with trusted family members or practitioners before making health-related decisions for myself.

  4. I respect the principles of confidentiality and agree not to share anything posted inside Inner Compass Conversations outside of the group unless I have the expressed permission from the one posting the message to do so.

  5. I understand that different people arrive at critical perspectives on all things “mental health” on different timelines, in different ways, from different backgrounds, and accompanied by different experiences, resources, opportunities, and belief systems. I pledge to treat all members of Inner Compass Conversations with respect, care, compassion, and understanding, and to meet respectfully all members wherever they may be on their personal journey – just as I hope and expect for the same respect and understanding from them in return.

  6. I will do my best to speak only from personal experience (e.g. “I did this and this is what happened” or, “This is what I would do if it were me”) and will refrain from giving prescriptive advice or guaranteeing specific outcomes (e.g., “You should do this” or “If you do X, Y will happen”).

  7. I will not make specific, direct recommendations that others start taking supplements, prescription or over-the-counter pharmaceutical drugs, or any kind of psychoactive substance. I understand that the central nervous systems of many people who are on/coming off/off psychiatric drugs are highly sensitized, and that various supplements, drugs, and substances can be destabilizing.

  8. I will not ask other members to share medications, or offer to share medications with other members, nor will I post about illegally obtaining medications or drugs via online sources.

  9. I will not use Inner Compass Conversations to promote professional, commercial, political, or religious services or organizations.

  10. I understand that admins reserve the right to remove any post with or without cause or explanation. I understand that this Pledge may be amended at any time, and that the admins will inform the group of any change

Peer Support Group

Welcome to Neurokindred’s Online Autistic-led peer support groups.

As Autistic adults, we have often navigated a world feeling isolated and disconnected, our unique experiences not fully understood by those around us. This has been especially true in our interactions with others, including health professionals, where there’s been a notable lack of attunements.

Yet, there’s a hopeful aspect to this shared journey:
the powerful connection that comes from mutual understanding within the Autistic community. This sense of unity fosters belonging, acceptance, and validation.

Peer support groups are a testament to the strength found in shared experiences. Centering lived experience as the dominant narrative has empowering effects.

Research is finally tuning into what many disability, recovery and minority groups have been building for years-the power of shared experience and community. Crane et al. (2020) conducted a qualitative evaluation of an Autistic-led peer group program for late-identified Autistic adults.

 

Over 10 weekly sessions, participants engaged in group discussions on a range of topics, from the implications of late diagnosis, disclosure in different contexts, cross-cultural communication difficulties, emotion regulation, sensory experiences, executive function differences, cognitive flexibility, the intersection of Autism and mental health and self-advocacy.

Interviews with 16 Autistic adults revealed three powerful themes:

  • An Autistic facilitator provided a positive role model for embracing a positive Autistic identity, fostered relational safety and facilitated more open dialogue.
  • The joint sense of community and connection was powerfully affirming.
  • The most significant outcome, that is conducive to well-being, was a shift in perspective towards a positive, strengths-focused Autistic identity.

Our online peer support groups aim to replicate this environment. Led by an Autistic group facilitator, our groups provide a safe haven for exploring and embracing Autistic identity, offering post-identification support, and fostering a recovery-focused approach that celebrates the strengths of being Autistic. We understand that the journey to self-acceptance and community building is unique for each individual, and our groups are tailored to nurture this process.

Join us to experience this accessible service that goes beyond traditional support, one that is rooted in the power of shared experiences and community, designed to enhance well-being and foster a positive Autistic identity. Here, you’re not just joining a group; you’re becoming part of a community that understands, accepts, and celebrates the Autistic way of being.

SHE RECOVERS READS

24/7

Share a passion for books and reading with like-hearted bibliophiles (book lovers) in recovery. This group chooses books to read as a collective and gathers monthly to discuss and connect.
Welcome to the SHE RECOVERS Reads Book Club!
We hope this space can be an opportunity to connect, support, and empower each-other through our shared love of READING in RECOVERY!
Our theme for August is ‘Anti-Racism: What’s Recovery Got to Do With It?’
We will officially kick off SHE RECOVERS Reads with the following books:
Ijemoa Oluo, So You Want to Talk About Race
Toni Morrison, The Bluest Eye
Sonya Renee Taylor, The Body is Not an Apology
We hope these titles may serve as an opportunity to:
– Examine together issues related to race
– Deepen our commitment to dismantling racism and healing the wounds inflicted upon Black, Indigenous, and people of color
– Explore stories of recovery, resilience, and advocacy so we may learn how we can contribute to creating welcoming and supportive spaces for all.
Discussion of the book within this group is casual and can be done in any way that serves you and your recovery! Read one book at a time – or all three at once! You are also welcome to post reflections, questions, insights, edges, create a group discussion event, or go live – we are grateful to be connected through our love of books and learning.
