The 24-Hour Crisis Line gives immediate help to people in
emotional crisis. Trained phone workers talk with callers about
their concerns, help them sort through their feelings, explore
coping strategies, and refer callers to agencies that may
provide additional help. They also work with callers
experiencing mental health problems, anxiety, depression and
those considering suicide. The 24-Hour Crisis Line is a unique
resource for family and friends of persons with a mental
illness. Phone workers can help determine if the behaviors you
are observing warrant further professional consultation and can
link you to appropriate public or private agencies.
Crisis Clinic, Community Information Line
The Community Information Line provides expert assistance to
people seeking information about community resources in King
County. Information and Referral Specialists explain how the
social service system works and coach callers on how to present
their situation and how to make the best use of the resources
they have. Information and referral specialists also provide
advocacy and follow-up for callers who have difficulty accessing
services on their own. In addition, the Community Information
Line operates the Bed Bank which tracks openings at various
women and family shelters in order to direct callers to the
shelter that can best meet their needs, as well as employing a
Caregiver and a Disability Specialist:
