Crisis Services serving Buffalo and Erie County
“
When a crisis occurs there is an emotional and physical impact to one’s well-being. As a crisis first responder, I have seen firsthand the impact of not dealing with crisis and trauma can have on a person’s sense of self, purpose and belief in happiness and hope. We are honored to be a part of this collaborative team of agencies working to address stigma in Erie County. Our goal is to ensure we have a competent community to ensure everyone feels safe to reach out for help and not struggle alone. We want the community to know we care, we are here and you are never alone.
