Suicide Prevention Helpline
Virtual Office Services in Sioux Falls, SD
Crisis Call Center was set up as an outreach program of the University of Nevada, Reno in 1966 in response to the high rate of suicide in Nevada. Working with Northern Nevada Adult Mental Health, a plan was created to establish a 24hr suicide prevention hotline through the Department of Psychology at the University of Nevada, Reno. On March 12, 1966, the Board of Regents approved the plan, calling for a cooperative community effort in the area of suicide prevention. During those early years, the Center was actually nicknamed The Nevada Life Ring.
