About us
Contact Community Services is a multi-faceted organization that supports the social, emotional, behavioral and mental health of children, youth and adults. We deliver this support through three broad program areas: Crisis Intervention Services, School Support Services and Training & Education. We provide a free, confidential 24-hour/7-day a week counseling, suicide/crisis hotline and referral service for individuals looking for information on health and human services agencies. We answer calls on our local Contact Hotline, 211CNY calls and serve as a crisis call center for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline throughout the Central New York region, as well as Westchester, Albany, Greene and Columbia counties. We also support academic achievement by addressing barriers to learning. We provide youth development programs; behavioral intervention programs; social and emotional learning programs; school-based mental health and substance abuse counseling; and school-wide substance abuse awareness programs. We are currently located in five school districts throughout Central New York providing these support services to administrators, teachers and students. Additionally, Contact provides suicide prevention and mental health training to community organizations, business and school districts all free of charge throughout CNY. Our classes teach individuals how to recognize suicide warning signs, assess risk, respond in a supportive manner, intervene, connect a person with a trained professional or community resource, and develop a safety plan.

📢 Our team attended the 2024 CIT International Conference in Indianapolis from August 26-29, where over 1,800 attendees gathered to discuss advancements in Crisis Intervention Team programs across the nation. 🌎✨ Maryam El-Hindi, our Diversion Manager, and Nichole Hotchkiss, our Crisis Network Coordinator, proudly represented Contact as part of the Onondaga County CIT group. It was an incredible learning experience, hearing from other states and communities about their 911 centers and diversion programs. 🚓📞 The CIT program is a vital community partnership involving law enforcement, mental health and addiction professionals, individuals with lived experience, their families, and more—all working to improve responses to mental health crises. Research shows that communities utilizing the CIT model have higher success rates in resolving serious crisis situations. 🧠🤝 We're grateful to be part of this life-changing work and to learn from the nationwide CIT community! #CIT2024 #MentalHealthMatters #CrisisInterventionTeam #CONTACT
