PeerPocalypse 2026 "Rooted and Rising"

This year at PeerPocalypse, the principle “Nothing About Us Without Us” has impacted me more deeply than ever before. I learned that many within the peer workforce are experiencing increasing feelings of tokenization. It reminded me that we peer workers have always had to pave our own path, and even for those of us who have worked hard to be recognized as experts through our own lived experiences, there is still a continued call to action. We must keep advocating for ourselves and for the peer community as a whole with the same passion and intention we bring to advocating for the people we serve.

More Than an Internship: Building Skills, Community, and Impact at ShelterCare

As a student at the University of Oregon, pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Family & Human Services with a minor in Nonprofit Administration, I have always been passionate about making a difference in my community. With a strong interest in working in the nonprofit sector post-graduation, I’ve been learning a great deal in the classroom, but itching for a more hands-on experience. That’s why, when I discovered the internship opportunity at ShelterCare, I knew it would be the perfect opportunity to take what I’d been studying and transform it into meaningful action, community connections, and professional development.

Lately at ShelterCare Medical Respite:

Shout out to the Kaiser Permanente Community Health team, who visited and toured our Medical Respite site! Kaiser wants to remind everyone that, "health happens far beyond the walls of a clinic. A safe, stable place to live can make all the difference."

Thank you to this amazing group of volunteers from Baker Tilly! They were recently on site at ShelterCare Medical Respite, taming the blackberry bushes around the outdoor storage shed, which were about six feet high! Now there isn't a bramble in sight!

Thanks to everyone who attended our Trivia Night fundraiser!

We raised over $10,000 to support ShelterCare's programs providing housing and mental health services to our community.
