WELCOME

Every day — a phone call away. A life crisis is never planned or scheduled. It comes suddenly, usually the accumulation of stressful circumstances. It might arrive in the form of heavy emotional pain, overwhelming sadness or a sense of hopelessness. It can result from big changes in life such as the loss of a loved one or a job, or from a seemingly endless series of smaller negative circumstances. The Crisis Center’s purpose is to provide a listening ear when the world seems to have tuned out; to offer help when none seems available, and referral to resources when they are most needed. We offer support for anyone who needs a lifeline to hope. Seven days a week, 24 hours a day, we answer the call.
