Voices

At Reach Out Oregon, we want every voice to be heard. Sharing our stories is vital to reducing stigma and building a strong support network for Oregon families. 

Your story matters. We want to understand the needs of our community members, and in order to understand your needs, we first need to know your story. In sharing your personal testimony with us, you will not only help contribute to the bettering of your own support system, but the support systems of others in your community as well. So please, share your family’s story with us and join those who have already shared their testimonies in helping to increase the quality and capacity of the support we are able to provide to you and your community. 

As you listen to the unique voices here, we hope you will be inspired to reach out and share your perspective. 

Meet some of our amazing Oregon Community and find out why they Reached Out.
