After escaping an abusive home at a young age, Dustin faced mental illness, drug and alcohol addiction, homelessness, and incarceration. Despite these challenges, Dustin worked towards recovery - he eventually graduated from college with honors and pursued a career in social work to help survivors of trauma.
Dustin's incredible story is proof of the power of recovery. As #RecoveryMonth comes to a close, we want to remind our community that recovery IS possible - and Cascadia is here to help, wherever you are in your recovery journey.

There is new evidence emerging from medical experts and health institutions showing that #COVID19 is disproportionately affecting those with mental health concerns.
As we continue to navigate this public health crisis, it’s crucial that we understand how mental health affects COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and mortality. Even more important, we must work to ensure all community members are able to stay safe, recover from the virus, and live a full, healthy life.

Last week, Governor Kate Brown announced a two-week pause in activities and gatherings to help slow the spread of #COVID19. As cases rise, it's crucial we stay home as much as possible, wear a mask, and practice social distancing. Let's all do our part to keep our community safe💙

We are not alone in this. We are seeing a surge of COVID-19 across the state and country. But we are at the point that unless we do something different, our modeling says we could see thousands more cases a week.
Today is #WorldDiabetesDay! A significant percentage of the American population lives with diabetes, and those numbers are two to three times higher for individuals with a mental health concern. Cascadia works to creative innovative, effective programs that support our clients with diabetes. Learn more: http://bit.ly/Living_With_Diabetes

Today marks the start of #BlackHistoryMonth! This month is an opportunity to share, celebrate, and understand the impact Black individuals have made throughout history. However, it's also time to reflect on the continued struggle for racial justice and discuss how we can create a more equitable society.
This month, we'll be sharing information about Black health, including culturally-specific mental health resources and information about racial health disparities. Today, we're sharing inspiring stories about Black individuals who made exceptional impacts and advancements in the medical field!

Starting Feb. 1, Multnomah County renters will be covered by Oregon’s statewide eviction moratorium. To be protected by the moratorium, renters must sign and return the “Declaration of Financial Hardship for Eviction Protection” form to their landlord. Landlords are required to send this form to you, but you're encouraged to send it in as soon as you can.
Learn more about what this change means for you and download the form at multco.us/covid-eviction. You can also visit any Multnomah County Library to get a paper copy of the form.
