Safe + Strong Helpline, in partnership with the Oregon Health Authority, is an emotional support and resource referral line that can assist anyone who is struggling and seeking support. Callers do not need to be in a crisis to contact this line.
Many of us are juggling concerns about wildfires and smoke, COVID-19, political unrest, financial instability, and more, in addition to the everyday things we personally struggle with.
Disasters can leave us feeling increased anxiety, worry, anger, or depression. In these challenging times, we provide emotional support, mental health triage, drug and alcohol counseling, or just connection with a person who cares.
If you or a loved one is feeling worried, upset, or overwhelmed, give us a call. Our call counselor will listen, assess your needs, and problem-solve with referral to community services and resources if needed.
If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please call the Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).
COVID-19 has changed our lives, and it can feel difficult for anyone. There’s support for you and the people you love.
Use this page as a tool to help make sense of what you're going through and to learn more about what resources and support can help you, your loved ones, and the communities you live and work in.
We know physical distancing creates increased concerns, but there is help.
All of these help lines offer translation services and are confidential.

Our work is focused on providing services to indigenous communities from Mexico and Central America. We are providing updated information on COVID-19 in various indigenous languages through Tu Radio Poder every Friday. Furthermore, we provide weekly food distributions to families that face language and/or transportations barriers. We will mainly be focusing on Washington and Multnomah County, however, we are happy to connect and direct families to other known organizations.
