With life-saving crisis intervention and suicide prevention services, Teen Lifeline lets teens in Arizona they are not alone.

Teen Lifeline's mission is to prevent teen suicide in Arizona through enhancing resiliency in youth and fostering supportive communities. We envision a world where all youth possess a sense of connectedness and hope for their future. Since 1986, we've been provided life-saving suicide prevention and crisis intervention services that are completely free to teens, families, and communities who need help. 

**Crisis Hotline & Texting Service**

Through our anonymous and confidential hotline and texting service, teens can call and talk to a Peer Counselor their same age who can help them with any problem they are having. From issues with friends to self-harm and thoughts of suicide, Teen Lifeline is there to help and listen. 

**Life Skills Training** 

To become a Peer Counselor, each volunteer goes through extensive training to ensure they have the skills to answer any call or text. They also receive valuable life-skills that they take through the rest of their lives. Peer Counselors begin their training between the ages of 15-19 and undergo a minimum of 72 hours of training from Masters-level clinicians. Peer Counselors are also supervised by these clinicians at all times while taking calls and texts.

**Prevention Education and Outreach**

Teen Lifeline works with schools and communities across Arizona to speak with students, parents, teachers, and other community members on ways that we can all prevent suicide. We ensure that people know about warning signs and risk factors to identify when someone they know needs help. To students, we also provide valuable skills to improve their own resiliency and help-seeking behavior. 

**Caring Contacts**

The few months following a hospitalization due to a mental health crisis or suicide attempt can be one of the most difficult and dangerous for a teen. Through our Caring Contacts program, Peer Counselors reach out to these teens for a year after their discharge to ensure that they know they are not alone. Through calls, texts, postcards, care packages, and other contact points, teens know that there is help and a community that supports them. 

Because all of these services are free to the community, support from individuals is critical to our mission. Together we can create save lives!
