Answering the Call for
Mental Health Support
Our story
Listen Line Community Services was founded in May 2021 as a 501c3 nonprofit with the aim of providing vital mental health support services to all individuals. Our dedicated team turned on our 24/7 help line in October 2021, staffed by compassionate and well-trained "listeners." These individuals come from diverse backgrounds such as social work, nursing, teaching, pharmacy, and peer support, all united by their commitment to active listening and support.
Our primary objective is to intervene before mental health crises occur. We strive to create a community free from the stigma associated with mental health issues, envisioning a society where mental health care and physical health care are equally accessible, accepted, and funded.
Our mission
Listen Line Community Services's mission is to create a community where mental health is understood, supported, and prioritized.
We envision a society where mental health care is as accessible and accepted as physical health care.
We strive to achieve this by providing a 24/7 listening ear for those in need, offering mental health education, and collaborating with community partners to expand our reach and impact.
Our goal is to break down the stigma surrounding mental health, connect individuals with essential resources, and empower our community to prioritize mental wellness.

Support
Our help line serves as a lifeline for individuals in crisis. While our primary focus is on listening, our trained staff also provide crisis intervention and connect callers with appropriate resources, including the national crisis line (988) and local mental health providers.

Navigation
We provide callers with information on available mental health resources in their area and offer guidance on accessing these resources. This includes education on unfamiliar resources and assistance with taking the initial steps towards seeking help.
Collaborations and Partnerships
We actively collaborate with organizations, businesses, and educational institutions to extend our reach and impact. For example, we partner with SWWA NAMI to bring MHFA classes to their constituents.
