Yesterday some of our amazing YouthLine and Lines for Life team joined our AFSP Oregon chapter at the Oregon state capital for AFSP Advocacy Day! Our youth volunteers and adult staff members got to meet with legislators to talk about important su***de prevention legislation, share personal stories about the impact of su***de on our communities, and advocate for change. Advocacy Day is something our team looks forward to every year, and we're so thankful to the AFSP Oregon team for the awesome work they do in our state.

Why volunteer with YouthLine?
Maybe you have personal experience with mental health challenges, relationships, feeling isolated, or going through something difficult. Or maybe you simply want to support others. By volunteering with us, you can offer help and hope to peers facing hard moments.

As a volunteer, you’ll support other youth through calls, texts, and chats, reminding them they’re not alone. With comprehensive training and ongoing guidance, you’ll be supported every step of the way as you help peers feel heard and move toward safety and wellness.

February is Black History Month! At YouthLine, we believe that this month is about honoring history, advocating for black mental health, uplifting black voices, and showing up with care, accountability, and action. It's about more than just knowing the history of the black community in our country. It's about taking action, engaging in the life long process of learning and unlearning, and using your voice to make a difference in our world.

Here are some amazing organizations and advocates we want to shout out this month for the amazing work they are doing for the black community:

It's super important that we're checking in with our friends and reminding them we care! Whether it's through a random check in question or directly asking about our friend's mental health, showing up is how we can make our loved ones feel cared for. Try sending one of these questions to a friend this week :)

At the end of December, we wrapped up our winter break training for our new PDX volunteer cohort! Here's a sneak peak of part of our training curriculum, where we go over what a peer helper is and isn't. These answers come straight from our volunteers, who are stepping into their role as peer supports for the first time! We're so lucky to get to welcome all of these amazing youth into our program.
