Hello District 5 Self-Sufficiency/Oregon Eligibility Partnership/Child Welfare Staff and Community Partners,

Tuesday Tidbits are short, specific info bites you can use and share to increase collective knowledge of Lane County's wide-ranging community resource landscape.
Below you will find Mental and Physical Health resources being offered in and for our local community.

[cid:image003.png at 01DB9D8A.625C85C0]Expedited Assessment Services for Youth (EASY)<https://www.oregon.gov/oha/hsd/bh-child-family/pages/easy.aspx?utm_medium=email&utm_name=holding-hope020325&utm_source=govdelivery> provides quick and complete psychological and assessment services.
EASY has provider hubs in Multnomah, Deschutes, and Lane counties and can now serve the whole state because of recent expansions in service range.
EASY is for young people who are at high risk for:

  *   Temporary lodging,
  *   Emergency room visits,
  *   Involvement with juvenile justice, or
  *   Getting removed from their home.
Anyone in the community can make a referral. Within 7 to 10 days, EASY's Interdisciplinary Assessment Team will meet the youth to complete the assessment. This can be in-person or augmented by telehealth. Fill out the EASY Referral Form<https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=6GOOZTmNnEmPSBOtyUUvTO1OdU8Xq-BJjXKrFjFwy4pUN0cyVDZFUThKVzNER1g5TUQ0Uk1UTTZJTy4u>. You will also need to email a Release of Information form completed by the youth's parent/guardian. A Release of Information will be provided during the prescreening that determines appropriateness for this unique service.
Please see the attached flyer for details.
