Foundation 2 understands that speaking on the phone does not meet the needs of everyone experiencing crisis.  To better meet our clients’ needs, we have expanded our array of crisis response services for those facing immediate crisis.

·         Online chat counseling- This online emotional support connects a person in crisis with a trained and compassionate crisis counselor. Visit www.Foundation2CrisisChat.org  9 AM- 3 PM Monday through Friday to connect with a counselor through our website.

·         Text support-You are now able to use your phone to text us.  Foundation 2 Crisis Text is available by texting to 800-332-4224 and following the prompts.  Text is currently available Monday-Friday, 9 AM to 3 PM, with plans to eventually expand the hours we are able to respond to your text.
