KCR Programs : Community Services

The Kelowna Crisis Line has been serving the community as a 24-hour, 7 day per week telephone crisis intervention service since October 18, 1976.  Volunteers respond to callers' concerns, empowering the individual to meet their own needs and find their own solutions.

Volunteers of the Crisis Line work from their hearts listening to those needing someone to talk to about whatever they may be going through.

If you or someone you know is in need of support, call the Crisis Line at 250-763-9191.
