Founded in 1975, Caring Contact has been promoting emotional wellbeing and preventing emotional crises by providing opportunities for people to express themselves to compassionate listeners in a safe environment for almost 50 years. In addition to our non-emergency warm line, we respond to calls to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for Bergen, Essex, Middlesex, Morris, Passaic, Somerset, and Union counties in New Jersey.
Our crisis lines are staffed by highly trained volunteers who undergo rigorous classroom and phone training before they can answer crisis calls.
Starting in 2012, we expanded our activities to include the Save Our Youth Campaign, a multi-faceted community education and training program for both youth and adults focusing on the basics of suicide awareness and intervention with the goal of reducing youth suicide in our communities. Over the years we have trained or educated thousands of individuals including members of faith communities, first responders, parents, teachers, and many others. More recently we have expanded our focus to include adults with the Suicide Safe Communities Initiative.
