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.

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
WhatsOK launched in 2021 as a specialized resource for young people ages 14-21. We’re a program of Stop It Now! (Klingberg Family Services), funded by World Childhood Foundation.
Since 2021, we’ve helped over 800 young people through our helpline and reached thousands more through our website resources.

What is Families Anonymous?
Families Anonymous celebrated our 50th Anniversary in 2021. We were formed in 1971 by a group of concerned parents in California who were seeking ways of dealing with the problem of substance abuse and addiction in their children. Our members include parents, grandparents, siblings, spouses, significant others, other family members and friends of those with a current, suspected or former drug problem. We have been one of the best kept secrets in the recovery community, even though we have groups throughout the world.
Families Anonymous is a 12 Step fellowship for the families and friends who have known a feeling of desperation concerning the destructive behavior of someone very near to them, whether caused by drugs, alcohol, or related behavioral problems. When you come into our rooms you are no longer alone, but among friends who have experienced similar problems. Any concerned person is encouraged to attend our meetings, even if there is only a suspicion of a problem.
Your identity is protected in our meetings. We know each other by our first names only. Anonymity of our members is paramount to the success of our program. Not only is anonymity an underlying principle of the program, but it is so important that it is part of our name.
You have nothing to lose but your pain and anger. Read on if you are ready to find the peace and serenity that our members have found through the working of the FA program.

LifeRing Secular Recovery
24 Hour Recovery Chat Room
LifeRing Secular Recovery is an organization of people who share practical experiences and sobriety support. There are as many ways to live free of illicit or non-medically indicated drugs and alcohol as there are stories of successful sober people.
Many LifeRing members attend other kinds of meetings or recovery programs, and we honor those decisions. Our meetings, whether in person or online, consist of addicts using their Sober Self to connect with the Sober Self of other addicts. We share advice, understanding, and encouragement. We focus primarily on our current lives, not on the hurts and damages of the past. Two addicts, talking Sober-Self to Sober-Self, learn from each other, and gain strength from each other.
Chat Room

ABOUT US
Our Founder, Dennis Poncher, began the Because I Love You, Parent and Youth Support Groups, in 1982 out of a need to help his own family. Since then, Dennis has poured his life into helping other families in crises. Our support group meetings are attended by parents who have children (of all ages) with behavioral issues such as negative attitudes, truancy, drug and/or alcohol abuse, running away, and verbal and physical abuse.
Our program works for both parents and youth, offering support and guidance to improve communication, promote structure and cooperation in the home, and achieve our goal of family preservation. Meetings are run completely by volunteers, and they are a place where families can find support without judgment or feeling embarrassed by situations they may feel they have no control over.
The Because I Love You program produces positive results, all free of charge. Read the testimonials of parents who have attended the support group meetings at How B.I.L.Y. Changed My Life. For over 30 years, thousands of parents have attended our support groups and become “Success Stories” . . . We have seen runaways return home, truants return to school and graduate, children who were dependent on substances become clean and sober, and families that were experiencing crisis and separation reunite!
