Crisis and Suicide Care
Welcome to Crisis and Suicide Care
The First Step to Safety and Hope
Need help? Know someone who does?
Talk to Someone Now!
If you’re thinking about suicide, are worried about a friend or loved one, or
want emotional support, we want to help. Reaching out is the first step in safety.
You don’t have to go through this alone.
Talking with someone about your thoughts and feelings can save your life. 211 is available for everyone, is free, confidential, and available to you 24/7. We want to help you remain safe and find hope.
Understanding Suicide
Suicide is a complex problem, but it can be prevented. Suicide does not discriminate against age, race, income, sex, or religion.
Everyone has a role to play to save lives and create healthy and strong individuals, families, and communities.
Together we can create a suicide-safer community by learning more about suicide and how to offer suicide care support to our loved ones.
211: Here When You Need it Most
211 serves all people in crisis by providing 24-hour telephone counseling, emotional support, suicide prevention & intervention, and links to community resources for all people.
All 211 counselors are trained to handle crisis and suicide calls. The counselor’s goal is to de-escalate high-risk situations while helping callers navigate their most critical issues.
As suicide prevention counselors, we do our best to make sure our callers stay safe during imminent risk conversations. We also provide resources, linkages and follow-up services for the person at risk.
If you or someone you know is:
Perceived to be in a life-threatening situation
A danger to themselves or others
Unable to cope with a crisis
