Oregon is proud to have been the first in the nation to establish a dedicated LGBTQ+ Veterans Program offering direct services to LGBTQ+ veterans to assist with military records corrections, discharge status upgrades, and service-connected disability compensation claims filing for VA benefits.

The program also provides extensive outreach to engage and foster community with LGBTQ+ veterans and assists veterans in enrolling in specialized health care through a Veterans Health Administration LGBTQ+ Veteran Care Coordinator.

Through these efforts, veterans within the Oregon LGBTQ+ community now receive trauma-informed and dignity-affirming care while also connecting with needed federal, state and local services.

If you, or a veteran you know, wants to learn more about resources for LGBTQ+ veterans, contact the ODVA LGBTQ+ Veterans Coordinator at [email protected] or visit https://ow.ly/Zv5X50V6wrC

Peer support plays a vital role in recovery by helping people feel seen, supported, and less alone as they navigate treatment, housing, employment, healthcare, court systems, and other life needs.

Our latest story release highlights the impact of peer support at Adapt, including the work of Direct Service Peer Jason Cornutt and the many ways peers use lived experience, compassion, advocacy, and hope to walk alongside individuals in recovery.

MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH: There are over one million youth lost on the streets in America. Reach out — 988 — and providers anf advocates, it’s time to coalesce. Our region is one of the missing persons hotspots in the USA because of both Highway 101 and I-5 corridors.
Our State legislators have created legislation to address many of the complex issues of human trafficking. Lots of questions need to be asked before addressing the problem.

So, Community Builders—what are the deterrents that rural areas can grow in the areas of prevention of human trafficking in a recreation tourist economy? Are the regional task forces in place to address the problem working? Are local entities and local providers and leaders able to participate in this effort?
