History
YFES Crisis Intervention
& Suicide Prevention
Youth and Family Enrichment Services (YFES) crisis line was one of
the first in the country, founded by one of the pioneers of the crisis
movement, Charlotte Ross, in 1966. Many things have changed since
its inception over 35 years ago, but the program’s primary function
remains the same: to provide immediate, 24-hour assistance to people
in times of great stress or grief. Additional services include: suicide
education, survivors of suicide group, and youth intervention team.
YFES believes that crises are a normal part of life, and that sometimes
these crises can be too large for us to handle on our own.
