The Hub of Hope provides suicide prevention resources, support, and safety for those in a mental health or suicide struggle.

Aside from suicide prevention training, all of our resources are free and open to anyone.

The HopeLine

The HopeLine (812) 818-2527 is a suicide prevention resource phone line for people who may be experiencing suicidal ideations, or for those who are concerned about family members, friends or acquaintances.

Call or text 7am-11pm, 7 days a week.

While we aim to help people experiencing suicidal ideations, we are not a crisis resource. If in crisis, call 988 for the National Suicide Hotline.

HUB OF HOPE RESOURCES:

  • Call or text (812) 818-2527 anytime between 7am-11pm, 7 days a week if you or someone you know is in a mental health struggle.

  • The Hub, located at The Freedom Center, is a safe place for people who are in immediate need because of suicidal ideations, or for people who need to complete a tele-health mental assessment. Contact Deana via the HopeLine to meet in this space.

  • QPR Gatekeeper Training (Question, Persuade, Refer) is an essential workshop that will teach you to recognize signs of suicidal ideation and learn how to take action. Sign up for the next training here.

  • The Support Group happens on the second and fourth Monday of each month from 6–7:30pm, and is for people who have thought about therapy but haven’t started yet, or for people who need support in addition to therapy.
