Service Members and Suicide Campaign
CrisisLink is committed to educating and providing services to both active duty service members and our nations veterans. With one active duty service member and eighteen veterans dying by suicide each day, we must all work together to end this national tragedy. CrisisLink recently held a Fall Forum entitled Service Members and Suicide: Pursuit of Life, Liberty and Happiness. View our military campaign brochure by clicking on the following link: Crisis Link Military Impact Brochure.

You Talk, We Listen
A common denominator in the teen calls that our Hotline receives is the statement “no one ever listens to me.” Our young callers are often experiencing overwhelming personal, peer, and school pressures.
Our job is to ensure that teens have a place to which they can turn when life gets heavy.
You Talk. We Listen. guarantees a listening ear, 24-hours a day, to teens who want someone to talk to who will listen without judgment. Since the Program’s inception in 1999, CrisisLink has experienced a steady increase in calls from teens.
