Today was the first night at my second job. I had left my cell phone at home and had no way of calling for a ride. (15 pedestrians said no walking past.) I approached the two ladies assisting a man out of the back and asked for a call out and they called me a taxi to ensure a safe ride home. Wonder...
White Bird SHOULD in theory be a wonderful community resource, but unfortunately this isn't the case. I've taken medication prescribed for anxiety and depression for years; medication that comes with HORRIFIC discontinuation syndrome when cut off cold-turkey. Medical doctors know these mental-health...
Hello, I haven't as of yet experienced the help of cahoots or whitebird. However, I wanted to respond to the ignorant view of Jeff zekas. Thank the good Lord you are among the few. Since you haven't spoken to ....or picked up one of their backpacks or worn their shoes....stfu. lmao. Some...fought fo...
Me and my dad had a fight last night and I ended up going through a crisis so he called these people and they never showed up, we waited two hours. Now he wont talk to me and things are just worst. Thanks a lot guys, we needed y'all and you only let us down.
Cahoots dealt with the crazy alcoholic street person who broke the huge window at Walmart. They also responded to the woman who was crying and intoxicated. This is what they do best. Eugene is inundated with hobos and derelicts, so despite many services, not everyone can be helped. The moral: if you...
Established over 20 years ago by two guy's traveling through Eugene, who discovered the lack of urgent medical services that were available to the in or, under insured. Especially lacking was mental health services for acute crisis situations wherein people had few, if any ready options ,especially ...
I have called this place on multiple occasions at my place of business to help in certain situations. They are a great police/emt and are specifically trained to work in situations that need deescalation rather than the law to step in. They have a fantastic mission statement that they follow and hol...
I have some issues with mental illness, and my therapists suggested that if I just needed to talk with someone to call Cahoots, I told her that I thought that they might take me away. I was assured by her, that it wouldn't happened. Well I had the need, and so I called them. They came to my house 2d...
God bless this place. They helped me get set up with health insurance. Christina and Emily were both super helpful and offered perfect assistance as well.
The dental clinic was great in the past. Has gone downhill. Don't waste your time, unless you like being treated like a second class citizen only to have services refused in the end. No compassion or kindness from the receptionists who appear to be fresh from the nail salon.
Kinda scary when you call the hotline three times in three hours about a man in distress who might be a harm to himself/ others and they say they re on their way but don t show up. The guy is still outside yelling to himself. Yes I ve called 911 and they said Cahoots had a dispatch out. The third ti...
Peggy and other staff are heartless and unwilling to listen or help when a real crisis shows up. The ONLY advice that was given was to come back and check back in a week or go to planned parenthood and seek help for mental crisis there. NOT OK AT ALL!!! This place is a cesspool of incompetent and he...
Just called to see about an appointment. Susan L answered and informed me that the medical center is separate and they have a different number. No pen to write it, asked what it s called to look it up and the says oh and then hangs up. What great service! Suck staff obviously Can t even make an...
An asset to our community in every way. The CAHOOTS teams in particular are recognized on a national level for the services they provide to those in crisis. In an age of growing inequality (and the societal ills that accompany it), White Bird and CAHOOTS shine like a beacon in the darkness.
A woman named Nicki who works for the crisis hotline is an amazing, empathetic and understanding woman. I called in crisis and hung up giggling. Thank you so much for your service and providing me with much needed inspiration to live.
Thank you guys so much. You helped wrap my wound, and kept me warm during dark nights of cold weather accompanied by mental stress. I appreciate what you guys do for your community!
The ONLY mental health office who patiently listened to me & tried to help. I'm on Medicare & have been trying to find a therapist to treat me. No one will.
An important social innovation proven to be a model to replicate for your community, no matter its location in the world, cultural-religious identity/heritage or political dogma du jour.
Cahoots is super helpful and caring. I don't know why you have to call the police number for the dispatch though...that might scare some people off who otherwise need help.
My wife and I went there last night as she was in crisis. I had no idea you could walk in for counseling until I checked the website. I thought you could only call Cahoots, and we're just outside the area. The staff was kind and caring, checking on us as we waited make sure we were as comfortable as...
I waited 3 days patiently for help with the Medicaid application. I had a 1pm appointment with Jen. I showed up at 8 minutes till at 15th and Mill. Nobody there! The sign said Fridays open from 8am-noon. I went downstairs to the dental section and the woman didnt know anything, didnt know Jen a...
Thank you, White Bird! You literally kept me from crossing the "thin-veil" between this world...and the next. On Sunday, 13 July 2014, I had a massive cardio-event at the Oregon Country Faire...far from any normal medical help. You responded quickly....efficiently...professionally...and kept me with...
