Crisis Support Services

Our text-based crisis support services are provided by licensed mental health professionals. However, these services:

  • May involve limited confidentiality in cases where there is a risk of harm to yourself or others

By using our crisis support services, you acknowledge these limitations and agree to seek appropriate emergency care when necessary.
