UO Community

Throughout our research on the Morningside Hospital story, we have sought to connect the past to the present, and we always consider the relevance of our research for public mental health care today. We are aware that many in our UO and larger communities struggle with distress and we want to share here some trusted local resources. 

We are partnered with the University Counseling Center & JSMA to provide these resources.  Please visit their websites for additional information.
