Today, Western Lane Crisis Response had the honor of participating in the Rhody Parade! 🌸🚑💙

Our team had an amazing time connecting with the community, celebrating together, and representing the important work of crisis response in Western Lane County. Events like this remind us how grateful we are to serve such a supportive and caring community.

A huge THANK YOU to our incredible team members who helped out today. We are proud to stand alongside this community and continue providing compassionate, trauma-informed crisis support to those in need.

Western Lane Crisis Response is proud to share that three of our responders have officially joined the American Red Cross Disaster Action Team (DAT).

By becoming DAT members, our team is now able to help connect individuals and families experiencing loss from house fires and other natural disasters with quicker emergency support and resources. This partnership strengthens our ability to respond compassionately during some of the most difficult moments people may face.

The Red Cross Disaster Action Team provides immediate assistance following disasters, including emergency lodging, clothing, food, emotional support, and recovery resources. Having WLCR responders trained and connected through DAT helps improve collaboration, communication, and response times for our local community and surrounding areas.

At WLCR, we believe crisis response goes beyond behavioral health. Supporting individuals and families through trauma, loss, and unexpected emergencies is part of building a stronger, healthier, and more resilient community.

We are incredibly proud of our team members for continuing to expand their training, knowledge, and partnerships in order to better serve Western Lane County. ❤️

Every day, our Western Lane Crisis Response team steps into difficult moments with compassion, kindness, and heart. ❤️

This message from a community member is a reminder that sometimes the smallest acts of support — showing up, listening, providing comfort, resources, and encouragement — can make a life-changing difference during someone’s hardest days.

We are incredibly proud of our crisis responders who help make this work possible. Together, we continue building a stronger, safer, and more compassionate community.

Thank you to our team for showing up when it matters most.
Hope. Help. Healing. 💙
