LifeWorks NW

Our Family Support & Connections Family Advocates were grateful for the opportunity to engage with families, share information about LifeWorks NW, and discuss how families can get involved at the Tigard and Hillsboro ODHS Free Food Markets!

LifeWorks NW began as a child guidance center in 1961. Since then, we have expanded to help more people in more places. We provide many types of care under one umbrella, across all ages and stages of life. "Life works" when you get the support you need.

High heat in the 90s is forecasted along with wildfire smoke. Multnomah County health officials advise that staying cool is your #1 priority.⚠️

While breathing in wildfire smoke is harmful to everyone’s health, extreme heat and overheating are more immediately dangerous for most people at risk.

How to protect yourself:
❄️ If you have AC: Keep windows closed, set AC to recirculate indoor air and run air cleaners.
🏠 If you don’t have AC: Make a plan NOW to get somewhere cool for a few hours during the day and open your windows at night to cool your home.
🧼 Create a clean room: Use indoor air cleaners if you have them.
🏃 Limit outdoor activities: Avoid strenuous outdoor activity during peak heat and smoke.
