Long Island Crisis Center (LICC) provides 24/7, free, high quality, confidential and non-judgmental programs and services to support and empower Long Islanders at critical times in their lives.
As a not-for-profit, 501(c) (3) private agency, LICC was established in 1971 and has existed since then as a 24 hours-a-day/7 days-a-week/365 days-a-year suicide prevention and crisis intervention center. In its 50 years, it has grown from one hotline to seven. It is staffed round-the-clock by volunteer counselors who undergo six months of intensive training. We respond to more than 10,000 calls on our telephone hotlines, and through our online and mobile chat service, ChatLIVE Long Island™ annually.
