“Stability has to come first, with care and attention to the crisis, through a holistic, family-centered approach that meets each family’s basic needs and supports the whole family system. When stability starts to take hold, each family member is able to begin getting what they need. This is what allows families to move from crisis into stability, and toward a more hopeful future together.”

At Oregon Family Support Network, our Family Support Specialists are there to listen without judgment, share resources that work in the real world, and help families build confidence to advocate for their children.

Celebrate Trail Day is all about getting out in nature and enjoying the trails around Oregon.

Living in Oregon, we know there are so many wonderful trails to hike and get lost in exploring the state’s natural beauty.

As we know, getting out in nature and walking around can be great for our mental and physical health, providing us the opportunity to pause and really appreciate the world around us.

Take a moment to hit a trail today, tomorrow, or sometime this weekend. Visit your favorite trail or explore a new one. Give yourself the break you deserve.

Have a favorite trail? Let us know down in the comments!

It’s the last Sunday of the month, which means it’s the time we focus on things that reduce our stress levels.

As we move closer to summer, take time outside. Feel the sun, and acknowledge all that you’ve accomplished this month.

Whether you want to get outside and enjoy the weather, or stay indoors, enjoy it. You deserve it!

Self-care doesn’t have to be a lonely endeavor. As long as you are creating space and time for yourself, others can join in on the practice.

Remember, self-care is about finding small ways to lower your stress, disconnect from overbearing tasks, and recharge without guilt.

You do not have to do this alone. Oregon Family Support Network offers resources and peer support to help parents care for their own well-being as they care for their families.

Did you know that plants can help promote better mental health and well being?

While some people may already be aware of the health benefits that come with gardening, even living in green neighborhoods or having house plants can help reduce stress and ground you. The visual appearance of plants and being around nature helps provide a sense of calm and ease for people.

If you’ve been feeling stressed out or just overwhelmed lately, consider getting your gloves out and start digging in that new garden bed or pick up that house plant that can help liven up your home, your brain and body will appreciate it!

If you feel that you are needing a moment today and need that person to listen, call 1-833-732-2467 or visit Reach Out Oregon at http://www.reachoutoregon.org to connect with someone who understands.

Enjoy the day drinking your morning coffee or tea outside, starting a small garden, going for a walk on your break, or just enjoying the sunset.

Whatever you do today, take a moment and spend some time with nature.

Oregon Family Support Network is families, caregivers and youth working together to promote mental, behavioral, and emotional wellness for others through education, support and advocacy.

Through our Family Support Specialist, we help families and youth identify their own strengths and connect them to the systems of care and natural support in their communities.

Trainings - We offer training programs for parents, caregivers, and Family Support Specialists with certifications as they continue to develop and enhance their skills.

Support Groups - Our support groups help develop skills and ways to communicate with those who have difficulties navigating systems and are searching for educational and general support to barriers that exist in the mental health system.

Parent Warmline - Our Parent Warmline is a safe, supportive space where you can talk to another parent who understands. Whether you’re feeling stressed, need someone to listen, or want to connect with resources, our Parent Warmline is here for you. Call 1-833-732-2467 or visithttp://ofsn.org to find the support you need.

Advocacy - Oregon Family Support Network helps to advocate and share your voice because advocacy helps ensure that mental health services are accessible and that schools, healthcare systems, and communities prioritize mental health resources, creating a supportive environment for children to thrive emotionally and mentally.

Visit our site athttp://ofsn.org and explore the many resources that are available to you!

Don’t forget to come celebrate and bring awareness to the importance of support for children navigating behavioral, emotional, and mental health challenges with our Children’s Mental Health Acceptance Day Celebrations happening in May.

Daily routines can sometimes feel repetitive or draining. One way to shift that feeling is by changing how you move through your day. Even something as simple as riding a bike can make a difference.

Why a bike? There are many benefits to choosing a bike instead of driving when you can.

Riding a bike can:

Boost your mood
As you ride, your body releases feel-good chemicals like serotonin and dopamine. This can help lift your mood and increase your energy.

Help reduce stress
Like other forms of movement, biking can ease tension in your body and mind. It can also support better sleep.

Build confidence and self-esteem
Riding can create a sense of independence and freedom. Over time, this can help strengthen your confidence.

Reduce anxiety and depression
Regular physical activity, including cycling, can support emotional wellness and help you feel more grounded.

Cycling can also be flexible. You can ride with your family, with friends, or on your own. It can be part of your routine or a break from it.

If you have access to a bike, consider giving it a try. Even a short ride can help reset your day.
