REAL Crisis Intervention Center is a free service for anyone from anywhere at any time. For yourself. For a family member. To get more help or just sort out concerns, we're here.

Intervention Services

Open 24 hours, free and confidential.

REAL Crisis Center exists for individuals contemplating suicide or struggling with thoughts of suicide.

Available by telephone, walk-in, or through off-site crisis teams, our intervention counseling, information, and referral services are available to anyone.

If for any reason you’d prefer to call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, call 800.273.TALK (8255).

Awareness & Prevention

Prevention starts with people.

Life can sometimes seem hopeless for someone in a traumatic or overwhelming moment. The most powerful tool we all have is awareness. If you find yourself concerned about a situation or individual, counselors are ready 24/7.

If your organization needs to raise awareness around individuals in need, how to identify them, and how to get them help, our outreach teams provide education, training and resources free of charge.
