Crisis Contact Hotline

Crisis Contact is a free crisis, listening, information and referral service which originally started in 1971 as the "Rap line."

Thousands of calls have been received from people dealing with relationship, family, loneliness, or just seeking information on what kind of help is available and how to reach it. Sometimes talking through a problem with a caring listener goes a long way to resolving it.

Program Eligibility: Any person seeking someone with whom to talk through  a problem while remaining anonymous may call.
