We at South Lane Mental Health seek to promote equity and inclusion within our agency as well as the larger Cottage Grove Community. Our hearts go out to members of our community that have been impacted directly or indirectly by recent and historic violence against people of color.
The mission of South Lane Mental Health is to restore hope and renew lives through compassionate mental health services, support, and advocacy.
Covid-19 Moments
Our community is facing unprecedented times and South Lane Mental Health would like to offer tools and strategies to cope with the stress and pressures associated with the Oregon’s Shelter in Place regulations. South Lane Mental Health Moments – Restoring Hope, Renewing Lives – One Moment at a Time – are short videos designed for kids, teens and adults. They are created by our team at SLMH and offer unique strategies to help our community cope with the stress and anxiety associated with this pandemic. You can find links to these videos on our Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/SouthLaneMentalHealth/
Workshops/Groups:
Senior Loneliness Hotline:
Connecting with people can keep you healthy. Nearly 1 in 5 adults over the age of 50 is at risk of social isolation, and of course more than that with the quarantine currently in place. This may lead to loneliness. Any aging adult who is experiencing loneliness, isolation, depression or anxiety can benefit from a confidential phone call with Senior Loneliness specialists. Sometimes knowing there is someone who cares and wants to listen can be of great help. 800-282-7035 www.seniorlonelinessline.org
Self care is more important than ever during this time. Here is a free app that can help:
