24-Hour Crisis Helpline
Need help? Call 314.531.2003
Our Crisis Helpline is a safe way to break the barriers of silence and isolation often experienced after a trauma. Calls are answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by Safe Connections staff and trained volunteers ready to help. These advocates provide emotional support and help callers assess their immediate safety needs. Additionally, Crisis Helpline staff provide callers with referrals for therapy, medical care, legal aid, shelter and other needed services.
Safe Connections arranges over-the-phone interpreters to translate more than 140 languages for Helpline callers. Also, for callers who are Deaf or hard of hearing, RELAY services are available 24/7 by dialing 711.
To reach our Crisis Helpline staff, please call 314.531.2003.

After an Assessment is scheduled, you’ll be given a portal link to access some intake forms. An assessment therapist can help you create an account on our client portal when you call for services. Forms can be completed on our online client portal, or we can email you copies as well. We prefer you complete the forms at least 24 hours before the assessment appointment. If you need help with the forms, just let us know and we will assist you in your appointment. We offer Assessments both in person and through telehealth.
