24 hour hours a day, 365 days a year, our crisis response program allows us to attend the scene of crimes or tragedies with police and emergency services to offer crisis intervention,referrals, practical assistance, safety planning and information.
Our dedicated team of volunteers make it possible for us to provide the services and support that our community needs. We aim to create a supportive, respectful and engaging environment for our team.
Crisis Responders are available immediately to respond to requests for assistance from police officers, emergency service providers, or self-referrals by attending on-site or by telephone. Learn more about our Crisis Responders.
