The Maine Crisis Line
The Maine Crisis Line (MCL) is the state’s crisis response service answered by trained crisis specialists who provide free and confidential support via call, text,or chat 24/7 for individuals or families experiencing a behavioral health crisis or having thoughts of suicide and/or self-harm.
Who We Are
At The Maine Crisis Line, we're here to support you through any crisis. A crisis is anything that feels overwhelming to you, no matter how big or small it might seem to others. If it's causing you distress, it's important. Whether it's mental health, emotional distress, or substance use concerns, our compassionate counselors are ready to help. If you’re worried about someone else, we're here for that too.
What We Do
We provide a range of crisis support services. Need a face-to-face crisis assessment? We'll connect you with a local Mobile Crisis response team. We also support non-English speakers and those who are deaf or hard of hearing through telephonic interpreting via 711 relay services. Your call is confidential and sharing personal information is voluntary.
Who We Serve
Everyone!
