2A | OCTOBER 8, 2020 | COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL On The Record Oregon Health Authority announces new behavior health hotline The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) an- nounced the launch of a behavioral health out- reach and education ef- fort and new helpline for Oregonians. These new resourc- es will help support in- creased behavioral health needs in our communi- ties due to the broad im- pacts of COVID-19 and the once-in-a-lifetime wildfire season. “The ongoing pandem- ic along with multiple other stressors are affect- ing Oregonians’ mental health,” said OHA Direc- tor Patrick Allen. “Over the past seven months, we have seen incredible resilience from commu- nities across the state, as we have come together to support each other in powerful ways.” Portland-based non- profit Lines for Life and OHA have launched the Safe + Strong Helpline at 800-923-4357 (800-923- HELP). The line offers free, 24-7 emotional sup- port and resource refer- ral to anyone who needs it — not only those expe- riencing a mental health crisis. The Safe + Strong Helpline is a response to needs for emotional sup- port around disasters like COVID-19 and wildfires and was funded by the CARES Act. Callers are routed to a counselor who can pro- vide emotional support, mental health triage, drug and alcohol coun- seling, crisis counseling or just connection. “This line is for any- one who doesn’t know who to turn to, or who might be wavering about what type of support they need,” said Dwight Holton, CEO of Lines for Life. “Data shows that warmlines help peo- LANE COUNTY COVID-19 STATS Lane County Public Health (LCPH) — (As of Oct. 6 at 10:30 a.m.) Lane County Public Health (LCPH) was notified of 54 addi- tional positive cases of COVID-19, along with 1 new death.

He worked hard and played hard! He loved Logging, Fishing, Hunting, Camping and hiking in our beautiful Oregon out- doors. He knew every tree and fl ower, would, and could, tell you their names and the most likely places to look for animals when recreating in the great outdoors.
