To maintain the dignity and worth of individuals and families in crisis by reducing suffering and loss of life through a regional program of preventive and supportive services.

 













Why call the Crisis Line?

From immediate suicidal crisis to information about mental health, crisis centers in our network are equipped to take a wide range of calls.

  • Call to speak with someone who cares
  • Call if you feel you might be in danger of hurting yourself
  • Call to find referrals to mental health services in your area
  • Call to speak to a crisis worker about someone you're concerned about

Suicidal thoughts

Information on suicide

Economic problems

Information on mental health/ illness

Sexual orientation issues

Post-disaster needs

Homelessness issues

Substance abuse/addiction

To help a friend or loved one
