ABOUT
MISSION
We are dedicated to building a better community.
Call for Help provides assistance to people dealing with a variety of crises, from sexual assault and poverty, to homelessness and mental illness. We change lives by giving people the skills and support that empower them to overcome these crises.
We were founded in 1970 as a suicide prevention program. Since then, Call For Help has expanded to become one of the biggest organizations in the Metro East aimed at helping people overcome crisis.
PROGRAMS
We operate several programs at our East St. Louis office and throughout the metro east.
