Contact the Crisis Line

CONTACT the Crisis Line started as an interfaith ministry founded in 1971 by a group of mental health professionals and ministers who shared the conviction that no one should have to face life’s challenges without a caring, objective listener. While no longer a interfaith ministry, today it continues as crisis line answering all calls unconditionally. CONTACT the Crisis Line serves as the states main 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline call center serving 74 of the 82 counties in MS. We are fully accredited by International Council for Helplines (ICH) The volunteers/paid staff are caring listeners, help callers to consider alternatives, provide empowerment through information and referrals, offer hope where this is possible, and express their loving concern even to callers who cannot love themselves.
