Youth in BC: Online 1-to-1 Chat

YouthInBC.com and its chat services are operated by the Crisis Intervention and Suicide Prevention Centre of BC which is dedicated to providing help and hope to individuals, organizations, and communities.

The Crisis Centre of BC offices are located on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh nations. We are proud to care for residents living in nations and territories that span what is known as British Columbia and Yukon.  We have been in operation since 1969.

Spanning the spectrum of crisis support, suicide prevention, and postvention, we engage staff and volunteers in a variety of services and programs that educate, train, and support the strength and capacity of individuals and communities.

We offer:

• Immediate access to barrier-free, non-judgemental, confidential support and follow-up through 24/7 phone lines and online services.
• Education and training programs that promote mental wellness and equip schools, organizations and communities to assist people at risk of suicide.

Our programs work to ensure timely access to support, destigmatize suicide and mental health concerns, and increase awareness and skills for mental health. We engage a community of passionate volunteers. We foster and create compassionate, connected, suicide-safer communities.
