BEHAVIORAL HEALTH

Most of us will need emotional support at some point in our lives. We are here to provide that support to people in crisis and/or considering suicide. Our crisis services are available 24/7 by phone and via chat.

Whether you had a bad day, or just need a non-judgmental ear to listen, we are here for you, no matter what you want to talk about. Our highly-skilled and compassionate staff are here to help.

We are also here for those who want to know more about suicide prevention and further resources. We can all build a community that celebrates asking for help and supports those who experience behavioral health challenges, including thoughts of suicide.

Call 988 or visit www.imhurting.org. Our support is free, confidential, and always available. 

If you think someone may be struggling with thoughts of suicide, have a conversation with them in private. Ask them gently but directly if they are thinking about suicide. Listen without judgment and be prepared to offer your support. Encourage them to seek treatment by connecting with their doctor or therapist.

If they say they are thinking about suicide, take them seriously. Stay with them and remove anything they could use to harm themselves. For help, call us at 988 or chat with us at www.imhurting.org
