Crisis Services

💜 988 vs. 911 💜

Both 988 and 911 are potentially life-saving numbers that connect people with critical support during times of crisis. Each plays an important role in emergency response, and knowing the difference can help you choose the right support when it matters most.

Crisis Services is proud to answer all local calls to the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, providing compassionate, 24/7 support to anyone experiencing a mental health crisis.

Thank you to 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline for this helpful and informative graphic.

🌈 Proudly raising the Pride Flag 🌈

Crisis Services staff were proud to attend the Buffalo Pride Flag Raising at City Hall, joining community members and local leaders in celebration of Pride Month.

This powerful event highlighted the importance of visibility, inclusion, and support for the LGBTQIA2S+ community, values that are deeply aligned with our mission to provide inclusive, compassionate services for ALL.

Crisis Services is proud to stand with and support the LGBTQIA2S+ community, not only during Pride Month, but every day of the year.

You are enough. 💚

Never forget how important YOU are. You are needed in this world and we are grateful to have you in it.

Thank you, 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, for this important message.

No matter how difficult today may feel, hold onto hope. 💚

You are worthy of care, support, and acceptance just as you are. Hard moments do not last forever, and you do not have to face them alone. Even the smallest step forward is still progress. Keep going — brighter days are ahead.

💛 Take a moment. Breathe. 💛

You’re showing up and giving your best — even on days when it doesn’t feel like enough.
Hard moments don’t define your worth. What matters most is how you care for yourself through them.

Be gentle with yourself. You’re human, and you deserve kindness and grace.
