Oregon NAMI

Mental Health · Oregon · Free

National Alliance on Mental Illness Oregon affiliate. Education, support, advocacy. Built for older adults experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, loneliness, isolation, or thoughts of suicide. Peer support groups are often free and meet weekly — caregivers and grievers say these matter as much as one-on-one therapy. Anti-anxiety medications like benzodiazepines are on the Beers Criteria for older adults — ask about non-pharmacological options first. Free of charge — no eligibility paperwork required...
