Referral Partner Highlight: Veterans Crisis Line
The Veterans Crisis Line (VCL) is a confidential, 24/7 toll-free hotline that connects veterans in crisis with qualified and experienced Department of Veterans Affairs responders via telephone, online chat and text. VCL’s primary function and goal is to prevent suicide and ensure that veterans and family members have the support they need. The responders are trained to work with veterans to reduce the immediate risk of suicide and help the veteran navigate through the crisis they are experiencing. Responders are also trained to assist veterans who are in crisis and seeking help but are not at imminent risk for suicide by listening, offering support and developing a plan to stay safe. Since 2007, VCL has answered over 3.3 million calls and initiated the dispatch of emergency services to callers in crisis more than 93,000 times. IAVA’s Rapid Response Referral Program (RRRP) and the VCL have been in partnership since RRRP launched in 2012 and has connected nearly 300 clients to this life saving resource.
