A Note From Our CEO
At Crisis Connections, our mission is clear and urgent: to foster resilience and wellbeing for all by connecting people to accessible and compassionate support. Every day, that mission becomes real through the thousands of calls, texts, and chats we answer—each one a lifeline in a moment of need.
We hold fast to our promise: No one will face life’s challenges alone. Whether someone is experiencing a mental health crisis, searching for housing, navigating recovery, or simply seeking to be heard, we are here—24/7—with trained staff and volunteers ready to provide help, hope, and direction.
In 2024 alone, we made 676,284 connections through our crisis lines, resource navigation, peer support, and youth suicide prevention training programs. Behind each number is a person—a neighbor, friend, or loved one—reaching out during one of the hardest moments of their life. That’s the power of connection.

Our Programs

“I lost my son to suicide, and the Support After Suicide Loss program has been instrumental in helping my family and me walk through the grief.”
“That’s exactly what is needed. Someone to just talk to, to help with the next step. This is important work. Thank you.”
“Some days are harder than others. I am just paralyzed in bed with depression. On those days, I call you. It is the hope I need.”
“I called not knowing what to expect, but the compassion I received gave me strength to face my problems.”
"I've had so much anxiety the past few days about my light bill. I feel so much better now, knowing that there is potential help out there and that I was able to talk to a live human to get things going."
“I didn't know how to deal with the grief after losing my sister. Some days I still don’t. But you’ve helped guide me towards healing.”
“It's a comfort to talk to someone who understands what it’s like to live with a mental illness. The Warm Line is an anchor for me.”
“These may seem like small costs but they all add up, thank you providing some financial help for more than I called about.”

“My sister's addiction was tearing our family apart. Your Recovery Help Line helped us understand and find a way to support her.”
“Teen Link is a resource we recommend almost every day. It empowers teens to take the first step towards help.”
"After the loss of my wife, I didn't know where to turn. Without her income I am struggling financially. I was so overwhelmed when I called. Your kindness and the resources you gave helped me to have hope again."
“It's a comfort to talk to someone who understands what it’s like to live with a mental illness. The Warm Line is an anchor for me.”
“During my transition, I had questions I couldn't ask anyone. Teen Link helped me without judgment.”
