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-

Teller of Tall Tales and, some
would say, a bit of a rascal. 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

missed by those who loved

lovely wife, Joyce, who stood
by him through thick, and thin

What are you
waiting for?
You may be putting off planning
funeral arrangements and waiting
for the “perfect moment.” When the
perfect moment never comes, your
grieving family is left to plan your
funeral without your input.
Rather than leaving your loved
ones to make rushed financial and
emotional decisions, take control
of your final wishes. We can help
you reflect on how you want to be
remembered and help guide you
through every decision.
If not now, when? Call us today and
our team can help you get started.
