Resources for crisis support

Due to limited resources, LCC is not able to provide acute care or crisis intervention at this time. Please refer to the support resources listed below if you are looking for support for the following:

  • Crisis work (e.g. active suicidal ideation, active addictions) that is costing you safety or making your safety unmanageable

  • Complex trauma (repeated exposure to trauma over an extensive period of time, including child sex abuse) that is currently costing you safety or making your safety unmanageable

LCC continuously strives to offer support and better accessibility where we can. If you have suggestions or comments, please write us at hello@liberatecounsellingcollective.com, and thank you in advance for getting in touch.
