About us

Lines for Life (formerly Oregon Partnership) is a non-profit dedicated to preventing substance abuse and suicide. We offer help and hope to individuals and communities, promoting mental health for all by through crisis intervention, prevention, and public policy. Our 24-hour crisis lines offer help and hope to individuals and their loved ones when in crisis or when needing confidential help for drug addiction, alcohol abuse, thoughts of suicide, and other mental health issues. Our staff and volunteer crisis intervention specialists are highly-trained and help thousands of individuals each year. While available to anyone in need, our services include targeted support for those struggling with addiction and recovery, military service members, veterans, youth, and their families. Lines for Life also offers training programs to promote mental health and wellness throughout Oregon, equipping schools and communities to identify and assist people at risk of suicide and to respond to signs of mental illness and substance abuse. We work to destigmatize mental health issues, increase awareness for mental wellness, and encourage reaching out for help. We work locally and nationally to shape the policies that impact our mission. We work with legislators and community partners to create sustainable, positive changes in the way organizations and communities respond to substance abuse, suicide, mental wellness, and crisis. We believe that suicide is preventable and substance abuse is treatable through education, training, and advocacy. We are the support and compassion people need in times of crisis, 24/7/365.

    As a person of color, have you ever talked yourself out of getting mental health support? It might sound like: “I’m fine.” “I can’t talk about this.” or “No one understands.” It's common to feel this way, but don’t ignore your mental health. You deserve a confidential, safe space to talk through whatever you’re going through. Receiving emotional support from another person of color can help you: 1. Feel connected 2. Be accepted and feel confident in who you are 3. Process and heal from fear, stress, and trauma 4. Talk about sensitive topics 5. Feel understood, affirmed, and acknowledged Despite the obstacles placed in our way by ourselves or others, Oregon’s Racial Equity Support Line is a free, confidential place to find support for people of color, by people of color: 503-575-3764 #BIPOCMentalHealthSupport #PeopleOfColor #YouAreNotAlone

    https://buff.ly/4cfJC78 To those who have ever experienced microaggressions or prejudice in the workplace, just because it’s called “micro” doesn’t mean that the impact is small. Subtle comments or actions that express prejudice against you can negatively impact your career. And they can happen in many ways, like: • Being overlooked for opportunities • Receiving backhanded compliments • Being unconsciously judged or stereotyped The cumulative impact of workplace microaggressions can be significant. In fact, they’re related to increased rates of burnout and less job satisfaction. Building resilience in the face of workplace microaggressions is crucial. It’s not about ignoring what’s going on. It’s about protecting your mental and emotional well-being while you navigate these kinds of challenges. OREGON’S RACIAL EQUITY SUPPORT LINE helps people who are feeling the emotional impacts of race-based trauma and microaggressions (among other cross-cultural struggles). When you call 503-575-3764, a trained clinician of color will answer and validate your experiences. They’ll offer you a completely safe place to discuss and cope with challenges like: • Managing emotions from race-based discrimination and violence. • Navigating microaggressions in your workplace and community. • Handling differences in communication styles, work expectations, or values. • Feeling like you can’t get ahead at work or elsewhere because of your race. • Struggling to feel connected to your roots in a foreign country. • Navigating immigration hurdles. • Other cross-cultural issues. To talk with someone who understands what you’re going through, reach out to OREGON’S RACIAL EQUITY SUPPORT LINE: 503-575-3764 We get it. And we’re here to talk, support, and connect. #Resilience #WorkplaceEquity #Support
