Staying Safe During COVID-19

​Everywhere you go there are lists of free audio books, podcasts, video’s, live book reading from celebrities, and access to learning materials.

For some of us, the stress of this time goes well beyond trying to keep our children entertained during shelter-in-place orders. Some are struggling to meet basic needs, remain calm, and access health and mental health services. Many communities do not have steady access to high speed internet.

For urgent needs, and for those with less internet access, a phone might be your best option to seek help. PCAO has compiled this list of phone numbers to help you during this time. Please let us know if you have other options you’d like to see added.

A list of general resources for families, like financial assistance or food, can be found on our For Parents resource page.

If you suspect a child is being abuse or neglected, call the Oregon Child Abuse Hotline at 1-855-503-SAFE (7233). If a child is in immediate danger, call 911.
