Portland Mental Health & Wellness (PMHW): Proud Sponsor of Oregon Pride in Business (ORPIB)
At Portland Mental Health & Wellness (PMHW), we believe in building strong, supportive communities. That’s why we are proud to sponsor Oregon Pride in Business (ORPIB), an organization dedicated to fostering a thriving network of LGBTQ+ business owners and allies across Oregon.
For us, this partnership is personal. Brad Larsen, one of the founders and co-owners of PMHW, was a member of ORPIB’s predecessor, the Portland Area Business Association (PABA), in the mid-2000s when he ran a house cleaning business to get through graduate school. His experience as part of that network left a lasting impression and underscored the importance of community support for LGBTQ+ business owners.
Now, many years later, PMHW has grown into a leading mental health practice in the Portland area, and the values that ORPIB represents are even more aligned with who we are as an organization. So many of our owners, staff, and patients are members of the LGBTQ+ community. Supporting an organization like ORPIB allows us to honor and uplift the voices of LGBTQ+ small business owners, recognizing the essential role they play in shaping our local economies and communities.
We sponsor ORPIB not only because we share a commitment to the LGBTQ+ community but because we see firsthand the value of creating safe, inclusive spaces—whether in business or mental health care—where everyone can thrive.
Together with ORPIB, we are excited to support the growth and success of LGBTQ+ businesses across Oregon, and we look forward to being part of this vibrant community for years to come.
