About these listings: Services set their own eligibility, availability, costs, and response practices. Crisis services may involve emergency responders when they believe there is an immediate safety risk. When you can, ask what information will be collected, who may respond, and what may happen next. Listings are informational and do not imply endorsement by Multnomah County or the listed providers.

“Regulate, Relate, Reason” is adapted from Bruce D. Perry and the Neurosequential Network. The 5Ds—Direct, Distract, Delegate, Delay, and Document—come from Right To Be. Additional response roles and the community-care applications in this map were developed or synthesized for Trauma Informed Oregon.

What are your earliest body, thinking, or behavior signals that activation is rising?

What situations, tones, people, or environments tend to activate you?

What are your hard limits? When should you step back or call someone else?

What can help you return toward steady in under 30 seconds?

Who can you call or text for support?

Find Your Response Role

Choose what fits you

You do not need to be good at every kind of response. Select the roles that feel natural or realistic for you.

Which roles fit you?

Which two or three could you use with the most steadiness?

Which roles are outside your skills, safety, authority, or capacity?

Before acting, ask: Am I safe enough? Am I already activated? Is there an exit? Do I need backup? Will my action help or add heat?

Direct, Distract, Delegate, Delay, and Document are Right To Be’s 5Ds. The other roles are community-care applications developed or synthesized for Trauma Informed Oregon.
