To provide high quality crisis education, referral and support through continually available telephone access, personal interaction and suicide prevention.

The Crisis Center began operating in 1986 as an all-volunteer organization dedicated to combating the rising suicide rate in northwest arkansas. Over the past 20 years our services have broadened and the coverage expanded to the entire state of Arkansas. With four 24-hour crisis helplines, the CISM team, our peer helper program, Survivors Of Suicide groups and other educational services, The NWA Crisis Intervention Center really meets many community needs.
