What some people say about our Parent Warmline: “This is wonderful, and now I feel less alone.”

Our Parent Warmline is a free resource for parents and caregivers seeking a safe, supportive space to talk through challenges, concerns, or everyday parenting experiences. When you call, text, or chat, you'll connect with someone who understands because they've been there too.

So if you feel you’re holding too much right now, call 1-833-732-2467 to connect with someone who understands. You are not alone, and you do not have to carry everything by yourself. Do not wait to reach out. Sometimes one supportive conversation can make all the difference.

What is Safety Planning?

Hope, our Mid-Region Manager, shares her own experiences about the importance of Safety Plans and how they can help a family and caregiver move forward, before, after, or during a crisis.

“Having someone alongside the family who understood the experience of navigating complex systems created a space where the parent could talk openly, process what was happening, ask questions, and feel supported without judgment. Rather than focusing only on what was going wrong, the Family Support Specialist helped the family recognize what was working, identify their strengths, and continue moving forward when progress felt slow.”

From a parent using our services.

At Oregon Family Support Network, our Family Support Specialists bring their own experiences as parents and caregivers to walk beside families navigating complex systems - from behavioral health to education to child welfare. They listen without judgment, share resources that work in the real world, and help families build confidence to advocate for their children.

If you want to share your own story of resilience and connection, we’d love to hear from you! Visit http://ofsn.org to connect with a Family Support Specialist or share your story today. If you need a moment, call 1-833-732-2467 to connect with someone who understands. You are not alone, and you do not have to carry everything by yourself. Do not wait to reach out. Sometimes one supportive conversation can make all the difference.

Back to school is around the corner, and one of the most stressful things is making sure you have everything ready for your kids before the start of the new school year.

Here is a quick checklist that can help you feel more at ease:

Set up any Dr. or dentist appointments now instead of waiting later when your schedule is a lot busier.

Maybe your kid has gone without a haircut all summer, and they want a new look, or just a fresh update for photo day; scheduling a haircut early will prevent an overbooked schedule.

Printing out or creating a lunch menu. Whether they are buying lunch or making lunches at home, having a menu helps you know they’ll have well-rounded meals throughout the week.

Figuring out carpools and after-school needs. Working with other families and friends on where your kids will be before or after school helps.

By knocking these items off your checklist early, you and your kids can focus more on the joy and excitement of the new school year!

Self-care Saturday is here, and this summer, it feels like we could all use a little extra time to soak in a little more sun before we go into the fall season.

Remember, self-care is whatever works for you and making the space to practice it. The important thing is to set some time aside for yourself today.
