Guidance & Safety
The Crisis Intervention program provides a listening ear, resources, and safety to youth in crisis. The staff and volunteers of the Crisis Intervention program offer support, encouragement, empowerment, and love to youth who are feeling alone, helpless, and scared.
Crisis Text Line: Text “HELP” to (360) 377-5560
The Coffee Oasis Crisis Text Line is a 24 hour text line for anyone ages 13-25 who is experiencing a crisis or just needs to talk to someone who cares. It is run by trained volunteers and staff members, providing compassionate support for youth in crisis.
Walk-In Crisis Services
Hospitals and other emergency service settings can be intimidating for youth experiencing a crisis. So, we offer walk-in crisis services, providing support in a more approachable, friendly setting (however, hospitalization may be recommended when appropriate).
Mobile Crisis Response
We go to wherever the crisis is occurring, often working closely with first responders, schools, and emergency personnel. Mobile teams provide pre-screening assessments or act as navigators to connect youth with community based programs and other services.
Substance Use Counseling
We offer free Substance Use Counseling to anyone 13-25 years old who is at-risk of experiencing homelessness.
Crisis Navigation Resources
Hitchhiker’s Guide to Kitsap was created to help youth and those who support youth who are seeking to connect with other organizations and supportive systems in Kitsap County.
Celebrate Recovery
Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered 12-step group, helping youth to overcome hurts, hang-ups, and habits.
