What is the Crisis Line?

The Crisis Line’s trained volunteers provide support to individuals experiencing emotional or situational distress, relationship issues, social isolation, suicide and more.














The purpose of our phone and text support lines is to provide a “community safety net” to enable individuals and families with managing their mental health concerns, and to provide a non-judgmental ear to those who could benefit from engaging in collaborative problem-solving. Crisis Line Responders may refer individuals to appropriate community or professional resources and if needed may intervene in life-threatening or emergency situations.














The Crisis Line provides confidential telephone and text crisis intervention through active listening and support. Trained, caring volunteers listen to caller’s concerns, empowering the individual to meet their own needs and find their own solutions.














If you or someone you know is in need of support, call the Crisis Line at 1.888.353.2273 (1.888.353.CARE).
