🌟 Volunteer Highlight: Cadence 🌟

The Crisis Services Advocate Program wants to highlight Cadence for her amazing work and dedication to supporting survivors of gender-based violence in our community. Keep up the amazing work--we appreciate all you do!

📢 September Training 📢

Being able to identify the signs of suicidal behavior in those around us, and where to turn for help, is critical. Whether in your home, in the workplace, or in the community, it's important to be prepared.

Crisis Services will be hosting two trainings in September! To sign up, please click the following link and select either the 9/12 or 9/16 training dates for "Erie" in the location column: https://ow.ly/SSYK50SIx2Q

There's no such thing as when you have a cute therapy pup to snuggle (or "awwww" at from your social media platform). Thank you to for bringing Gander into our office for a much-needed visit!

📢 has begun! 📢

Crisis Services is excited to back with the City of Buffalo's program again in 2024. 🤝 Each week, our Community Education and Outreach Coordinator, Cameron Burns, pounds the pavement with partner agencies to provide resources and services to Buffalo neighborhoods. Through this initiative, we are able to reach thousands of households each season, making sure that anyone who needs our services knows how to access them.

✉️ If you are interested in getting involved with Clean Sweep, reach out to Cameron: [email protected]
