Community and National Hotlines

We have listed phone numbers that you might find helpful in a time of personal crisis. We encourage you to use these numbers to connect with caring people who understand the challenges you are facing. These are organizations that are not affiliated with Crossroads in any way, but are independent private or public organizations that welcome calls from people in need.
