Let’s spread awareness … A crisis can happen to anyone – it does not discriminate or choose certain people. It occurs when usual coping skills are no longer enough to manage a situation, and it can arise at any time, in any place. Recognizing the warning signs of a crisis is essential and knowing how to respond is just as important. At Community Health Center of Buffalo, Inc., we are here to support you in identifying those warning signs, strengthening your coping skills, and creating a clear plan for who you can call and where you can go when you need help. Call 716-986-9199 to schedule a time to talk with one of our counselors.

If you or someone you know is in a crisis, call 988 for free 24/7 support.
