​Experiencing a mental health crisis?
Please call the Southwest Washington Crisis Line (open 24/7/365) at 1.800.626.8137. The Crisis Line can help when you or a loved one is
  • threatening to harm or kill themselves or others.
  • acting recklessly or violently.
  • having hallucinations (seeing things that are not there), delusions (false beliefs), or are not able to care for themselves.
  • experiencing something else that feels overwhelming or uncontrollable.
Do you need help advocating for your mental health needs?
Please call the mental health ombudsman (advocate) at 1.564.397.8470. An ombudsman will advocate for, and speak on behalf of, qualified mental health consumers and their families. They will investigate your complaint/grievance, recommend solutions, and help you resolve whatever issue you may have regarding getting your mental health needs met.
Peer Support
​
A certified peer support counselor is someone who has experienced mental illness first-hand or has experienced co-occurring disorders (a combination of mental health and substance use disorders), is grounded in their recovery, and has gone through specialized training and testing to earn their certification. Peer counselors are especially qualified to inspire hope and provide unique support to individuals receiving mental health services because they likely have been in similar situations and understand the experience of living with a mental illness. Peer counselors model recovery and resiliency in overcoming obstacles common to those who live with serious mental illness and help identify goals that promote recovery and resiliency.
Peer support services are available at:
  • Catholic Community Services
  • Children’s Center
  • Children’s Home Society
  • Columbia River Mental Health Services
