About SPRC

SPRC is not a crisis center and does not provide counseling services.
If you are feeling distressed or hopeless, thinking about death or wanting to die, or, if you are concerned about someone who may be suicidal, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

Staff

We are available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time. If you wish to schedule a telephone conversation at another time, please call or email us for an appointment. Please specify the state in which you live.
