We are a local non-profit that for the past 43 years has been providing free, anonymous and confidential 24 hour crisis phone services to callers in the community. Crisis Clinic phone workers complete a sixty hour comprehensive training which prepares them to provide emotional support as well as community resource referrals to anonymous callers. If you are between the ages of 15 - 21, you are also able to take calls on our youth helpline...where you might talk about school, peer pressure, stress and much more with anonymous youth callers.
