Welcome to CrisisLink's electronic media center.
As journalists, you strive to present the information on timely mental health issues to your readers, listeners, and viewers. Here is where you may access the latest news from CrisisLink, as well as to learn more about our important work. As trained, diverse human services professionals, we are in a unique position to assist you in understanding the needs of local communities to respond to community and school crises.
CrisisLink has been featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show, in The New York Times, the Washington Post, Washingtonian Magazine, and Wall Street Journal for our crisis prevention, intervention and support services and volunteer programs.
We believe strongly that journalists play an important role in helping CrisisLink to educate the public about the the importance of volunteer-based mental health services. By contacting CrisisLink, we can provide you with a "real world" perspective on supporting the mental health needs of local communities.
We recommend the Media Guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and the American Association of Suicidology for further information.
To arrange an interview, get background information for a story, or get guidance on media coverage of an event, please call (703) 527-6603 or email us.
