Just 15 months ago, @StreetRoots published a solutions journalism piece on how Portland could feasibly, quickly and effectively address the crises on our streets in a compassionate and responsive way with the creation of Portland Street Response. news.streetroots.org/2019/03/15/por…

We're proud to share that @Greenwrites, Elizabeth Yost @lrmongeau @TheLundReport @UO_Catalyst are finalists in the Nonprofit News Awards for our spotlight on OR schools' failure to provide quality prevention to kids: inn.org/news/compulsiv…

Lawmakers have approved roughly $27 million to fund youth prevention and recovery programs as well as support for families with young children. From @jakethomas2009: thelundreport.org/content/legisl…

We’re going to miss @GreenWrites terribly as both a kickass journalist and person. We had a little party for her Thursday, with @TheLundReport founder Diane Lund-Muzikant and co-chair @jozuhl joining the team to toast her & her well-deserved award. 1/

Yesterday was my last day @thelundreport. I'm lucky to have worked with such a stellar team – @NickBudnick, @jakethomas2009, Kim Crosby & Christian Wihtol. I'm excited about what's next, but I'm also going to miss the heck out of them! And I'm sure the best of TLR is yet to come.

This is a must-read for anyone following Oregon's mental health treatment efforts. From Christian Wihtol:

Breaking news: @CareOregon and @SCANHealthPlan have withdrawn their application to combine, citing 'questions' raised. Opponents argued transferring control of $1 billion in reserves to California would undermine local control of Oregon #Medicaid spending: thelundreport.org/content/careor…

An outstanding piece, correctly identifying misuse of scant data by both proponents & opponents of m110…underpinning the point that success measures were loosely defined, not aligned, and little efficacy measurement exist still. Subscribe to @TheLundReport! Worth every cent.

Words matter. AP recommends journalists avoid words like "addict" and "drug abuser." Using stigmatizing language in journalism to describe people and their appearance when they're struggling with addiction 'others' people, and it's irresponsible. slate.com/technology/201…

House Bill 4130 seeks to shield Oregon from the rapid expansion of private equity and other large corporations into health care. thelundreport.org/content/bill-c…

An extremely thorough analysis of the debates around M110 and the well funded spin machines around it.

Lies, damned lies — and Measure 110 statistics? Both sides of Oregon’s drug decriminalization debate are citing statistics to draw opposite conclusions, sometimes irresponsibly. thelundreport.org/content/lies-d…

This story by @jrlsilverman is an emotional gut-punch to read, but so important. "Again, she says, she pleaded with a hospital social worker for help, looking for any loophole to get him into treatment." #orleg oregonlive.com/health/2024/02…

Measure 110 is getting the attention, but there's other weighty issues involving health care teed up for lawmakers in the five-week session that just kicked off in Salem. @jakethomas2009 lays it all out: thelundreport.org/content/oregon…

In Oregon, where the state gives schools scant support in adopting addiction prevention programs, we found parents and teachers are catalyzing robust prevention in some districts. thelundreport.org/content/oregon…

Oregon has a massive gap between Oregonians' needs and the treatment beds it has, an outside consultant has found. @GreenWrites breaks it down: thelundreport.org/content/oregon…

@Analog_DEva I remember Trei. Thank you for sharing this with me. A sad ending to a very hard life.

@GreenWrites I ran across a young man by the name of Trei Hernandez here in Austin and he showed me an article you wrote that featured a part of his story. The article made me think of the troubled kids I have worked with. Sadly, I'll be attending his memorial tomorrow.

Youth addiction prevention in Oregon gets little help from state: “Over the last two years, the Oregon Legislature has invested over $1 billion into Oregon’s behavioral health system” but included “almost no new funding” for substance use prevention. thelundreport.org/content/youth-…

Oregon law is clear: districts must have a robust substance-use prevention program backed by up-to-date science. But that is easier said than done, journalist @lrmongeau found when she spoke with administrators around the state: thelundreport.org/content/school…

On the eve of a state decision on the merger of @CareOregon with California-based @SCANHealthPlan, @OHAOregon ex-director Pat Allen is coming out against it. Proponents say it'll lower costs and help them compete, but Allen cites risks to local control: thelundreport.org/content/careor…
