Thrive Central Oregon The mission of Thrive Central Oregon is to connect individual needs with community resources. Thrive is based on the Social Worker in the Library program.

We assist with critical connections to housing, physical and mental health services, employment, basic needs, and many more resources. Thrive Central Oregon meets families and individuals - our neighbors - in public spaces to connect them with the assistance they are looking for. There are many resources in Central Oregon, but the landscape can be difficult to navigate alone. We connect with folks and utilize a holistic, individual-led approach to services, and in doing so we help access affordable housing and financial security in a sustainable and trauma-informed way. We want to create safe places for individuals to connect with community resources, including assistance and support in accessing housing, physical and mental health services, employment, and basic needs. Many individuals use libraries and other public spaces as a means to come in from the outdoors, relax, and use facilities & computers. Having a social worker available in these spaces increases connections between those in need and the community resources that exist to support them, and decreases stigma and alienation. Since September of 2015 Thrive has had the opportunity to collaborate with the Deschutes Public Libraries and partner with United Way of Deschutes County to provide easily accessible, one-stop, social service supports to community members in need.

There is a lot happening right now in our society. We can choose how we approach it.

This month's quote is from Nelson Mandela, "I learned that courage was not the absense of fear, but the triumph over it. I felt fear myself more times than I can remember, but I hid it behind a mask of boldness. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers fear."
------------------------
Están sucediendo muchas cosas en nuestra sociedad en este momento. Podemos elegir cómo afrontarlas.

La cita de este mes es de Nelson Mandela: «Aprendí que el coraje no era la ausencia de miedo, sino el triunfo sobre él. Yo mismo sentí miedo más veces de las que puedo recordar, pero lo oculté tras una máscara de valentía. El hombre valiente no es aquel que no siente miedo, sino aquel que conquista el miedo».

Meet our Community: October

When Tony had a stroke, he knew his life would be changed forever. What he didn’t know was how much he would learn about communication and our culture, or how poorly he could be treated by those who are supposed to help. Head over to our blog to read more of Tony's story.

Conoce a nuestra comunidad: octubre

Cuando Tony sufrió un derrame cerebral, supo que su vida cambiaría para siempre. Lo que no sabía era cuánto aprendería sobre la comunicación y nuestra cultura, ni lo mal que podían tratarlo quienes se suponía debían ayudarlo. Visita nuestro blog para leer más sobre la historia de Tony.

Sometimes months just blow us by! September was one of those. Busy busy busy - and still doing our best to be fully present with each and every person that comes to see us or calls us for assistance.
--------------------
¡A veces los meses pasan volando! Septiembre fue uno de esos. Ha sido un mes de muchísimo ajetreo, y aun así nos esforzamos al máximo por estar plenamente presentes con cada una de las personas que vienen a vernos o nos llaman para pedir ayuda.
