Substance Use Counseling

TransPonder is a part of BHRN-LC, a collaborative group of service providers in Lane County, Oregon, to provide harm reduction, treatment, and recovery outcomes for substance use. TransPonder offers free individual substance use counseling, peer services, and support groups for people with mental health and substance use disorders.

Peer Support

Our peers are solid advocates and help support community members’ emotional health, wellness, and self-management of social and health challenges. They can also provide support during major transitions in life. All our peer services are free.

Queer Pride Peer Group

Our mental health and substance use peer group is designed to help you build resilience and improve your overall well-being by bringing together individuals struggling with mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, stress, and substance use disorders. The group provides a safe and supportive environment where participants can openly discuss their challenges, share their experiences, and receive support from others who are going through similar struggles.
