CAHOOTS

CAHOOTs and HOOTs workers in Eugene have won significant raises after more than a year of bargaining.

More than a year after White Bird Clinic and its unionized crisis workers began negotiations, they still haven't reached an agreement on a new contract.

Lane County will soon launch a mobile crisis response program to serve far-flung, rural communities often referred to as “mental health care deserts.”

Eugene’s CAHOOTS program has had to put some of its services on hold.

Let’s face it. The holidays can be stressful. A Eugene psychologist has some basic tips to preserve our mental health this time of year.

Contract negotiations continue between the White Bird Clinic and staff members of the CAHOOTS and HOOTS crisis intervention programs.

Eugene’s mayor is calling on Oregon’s governor and the state health agency to keep her city’s sole hospital in operation.

After more than three decades, oversight of the mobile-crisis intervention program, CAHOOTS, will be shifted from the Eugene Police Department to Eugene-Springfield Fire.

Workers with two programs run by the White Bird Clinic are pressing on with unionization efforts.

CAHOOTS is struggling to meet demand in Eugene-Springfield, even as its model for community healthcare is adopted nationally.

The White Bird Clinic’s executive coordinator, Chris Hecht, says they’re offering their model as an 8-week, online course for non-profits, governments, and community groups who want to explore their approach, and possibly introduce it into their own communities across the nation.
