Care Team
NVCF's innovative youth suicide prevention and response program employs Care Team coaches and clinicians who provide support to young people and families.
Care Team
The Care Team is a free youth suicide prevention and response program. Young people can reach out through text, phone or filling out the online referral and NVCF's trained Care Team.
Anyone who is concerned about a young person who is suicidal can call the Care Team for support.

-
Has made an attempt on their life
