Veteran‘s Crisis Intervention Hotline
A Crisis Intervention Hotline has been established by the VA Heartland Network to assist veterans who may be dealing with a mental health crisis or difficult issue in their lives. The hotline will also aid family members or friends of veterans who need help in assisting a veteran in crisis.
VA Heartland Network serves veterans in Missouri, Kansas, and southern Illinois, as well as portions of Indiana, Kentucky, and Arkansas, and has operated a telephone care line for ten years. The new crisis intervention hotline expands the services previously available with a specific focus on the mental health needs of veterans returning from service in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Global War on Terrorism. Registered Nurses with training and experience in crisis intervention and telephone care are available around the clock to speak with callers and will also offer assistance in accessing health care provided by the Department of Veterans‘ Affairs or within their local communities.
The Veteran‘s Crisis Intervention Hotline, sponsored by the VA Heartland Network, is available 24/7 at 1-888-899-9377. Call may remain anonymous if they so desire.
