At NAMI Central Oregon sabemos que sometimes it’s hard to talk about feelings en español—even if you’re fluent. 🧠💚

This bilingual Feelings Wheel (English + Español) is here to help you:
• Put a name to what you feel / ponerle nombre a lo que sientes
• Talk about emociones with family, friends, y comunidad
• Feel a little más confiado/a talking about mental health en español

Save it, share it, úsala en tus conversaciones, and check in with yourself:

✨ What am I feeling right now? / ¿Qué estoy sintiendo ahora mismo?

If this tool te inspira to get more involved in Spanish-language mental health support en nuestra comunidad, we’d be happy to connect and share opciones de voluntariado for the future.

📢 Important Announcement for La Pine Community 📢
We want to inform you that our NAMI La Pine Peer Support Groups will be on hiatus. Our facilitators are unable to lead the groups during this time.

The La Pine Peer Support Group, typically held at the La Pine Senior Center on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday afternoons of each month, holds a special place in our community, and we are committed to bringing them back as soon as possible.

In the meantime, we are looking for volunteer facilitators with lived experience of mental health challenges who can help lead these groups in La Pine in the future. If you’re interested in volunteering and would like to receive training, please reach out!

Thank you for your understanding and support. Together, we can continue to create a supportive environment for everyone. 🤝💙

Guess what? You’re not alone if the holiday season isn’t all joy and merry snowflakes.

For some of us, the holidays lead to feelings of loneliness, grief, stress or being overwhelmed. If you’re a caretaker or loved one of someone with mental health challenges, you could experience complicated feelings and exhaustion.

If you find yourself in this situation, practicing self-care is crucial for maintaining your mental health. Check out our holiday survival guide for tips. https://namicentraloregon.org/holiday-survival-guide/
