Building hope by preventing substance abuse & suicide, and promoting mental wellness.
About us
Lines for Life (formerly Oregon Partnership) is a non-profit dedicated to preventing substance abuse and suicide. We offer help and hope to individuals and communities, promoting mental health for all by through crisis intervention, prevention, and public policy. Our 24-hour crisis lines offer help and hope to individuals and their loved ones when in crisis or when needing confidential help for drug addiction, alcohol abuse, thoughts of suicide, and other mental health issues. Our staff and volunteer crisis intervention specialists are highly-trained and help thousands of individuals each year. While available to anyone in need, our services include targeted support for those struggling with addiction and recovery, military service members, veterans, youth, and their families. Lines for Life also offers training programs to promote mental health and wellness throughout Oregon, equipping schools and communities to identify and assist people at risk of suicide and to respond to signs of mental illness and substance abuse. We work to destigmatize mental health issues, increase awareness for mental wellness, and encourage reaching out for help. We work locally and nationally to shape the policies that impact our mission. We work with legislators and community partners to create sustainable, positive changes in the way organizations and communities respond to substance abuse, suicide, mental wellness, and crisis. We believe that suicide is preventable and substance abuse is treatable through education, training, and advocacy. We are the support and compassion people need in times of crisis, 24/7/365.

Asking someone if they’re thinking about suicide can be difficult - but starting a conversation about suicide can help someone feel relieved, supported and more open to getting help. Suicide remains one of the leading causes of death in the United States. It’s critical that we all know how to help someone who needs support during a crisis.
