Whether you’re looking for support, helping someone you love, or finding a way to get involved, you probably have a few questions. Here are the ones we hear most. If you don’t see yours, just give us a call. We’re happy to help.
Please don't wait to find an answer here.
Call or text 988 any time, day or night, to reach trained crisis counselors.
If there is an immediate threat to life or safety, call 911.
Call us at (888) 604-5527. Tell us a little about what you're looking for, and our team will help you figure out the right next step. You don't need to know the name of a program before you call.
That's completely okay. Most people don't. You don't need to understand every program name or eligibility requirement. Just tell us what's going on and we'll help sort it out with you.
Not through the contact form. To begin services, please call us. Our team will walk you through the right intake or registration process.
