VIA LINK Crisis Chat is for anyone who is going through a hard time, having thoughts about suicide, or just needs to talk. Crisis Intervention Specialists, or simply referred to as Specialists, are ready to listen, provide emotional support and help you cope. Specialists are not here to judge or tell you what you should do. We understand that people are the experts in their own lives.
