I was scared to speak with someone, but crisis counselor was kind and understanding. She helped me come down from the ideation I was having and gave me helpful resources. I felt a lot better after talking with her.

Crisis counselor helped me cope with what I was going through and gave me local resources to help me. I've called multiple times to help me when I had no one else…I really appreciate 988.

Crisis counselor was patient and listened well. She helped me de-escalate quickly and helped me with this difficult, angry and at times abusive person. She even set me up for follow up calls… I felt cared about.
