A hospital specializing in behavioral and mental health services. +
Unity Center for Behavioral Health’s 24-hour behavioral and mental health services center provides immediate psychiatric care and treatment for people experiencing a mental health crisis. Emergency treatment is available at Unity’s Psychiatric Emergency Services (PES) for adults 18 and older having a mental health crisis. Patients are first seen by a triage nurse, then participate in a psychiatric evaluation. After the evaluation is done, a treatment team prepares a stabilization plan. Once a patient enters the PES triage area, they are not able to leave until a provider has had a chance to evaluate them. The PES is a locked setting for voluntary and involuntary patients. Unity’s PES provides primary emergency hospital care for the greater Portland area. OHSU, Adventist, and Providence no longer have secure emergency mental health treatment facilities and these patients are now referred to Unity Center for Behavioral Health.
Unity’s mental and behavioral health services include Crisis stabilization, Crisis intervention, Medication management, Crisis counseling, Inpatient care, Social work, Family support, Peer support, Care navigation, Case management. +

The University of Oregon (UO)’s '''Prison Education Program''' builds on collaboration between the University of Oregon and the Department of Corrections to offer credited classes through their Inside-Out Program. The Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program is a national educational model that brings college students together with incarcerated men and women to study as peers in a seminar behind prison walls. The core of the Inside- Out Program is a quarter-long academic course, meeting once a week, in which 12 outside (campus-based) students and the same number of inside (incarcerated) students attend class together inside prison. Classes are offered through a wide variety of disciplines, from criminal justice to literature.
The UO PEP offers between five and nine Inside-Out classes each year at three correctional facilities throughout Oregon. In the next 3-5 years they hope to offer 10 classes each year. UO PEP also offers in-person inside-only student classes, packets or
“reading” classes with no in-person meetings, and hybrid classes where the bulk of the coursework is done remotely but with some in-person class sessions. UO PEP has helped seven inside students complete their Bachelor’s Degrees.

In addition to for-credit classes, UO PEP also offers a variety of not-for-credit activities inside the prisons. UO PEP workshops and events include book discussions, academic workshops, club events, LEAP (Learning, Engagement, and Activities Packets) with learning and correspondence opportunities for people in segregated housing, and
PEP TV which brings educational content into all of Oregon’s correctional facilities
through two hour video blocks of material. UO also
showcase the talents and vision of artists who are incarcerated. ''https://prisoned.uoregon.edu/projects/'' .
