Vibrant Provides Vital Support During COVID-19
In this unprecedented time, Vibrant continues to provide our life-saving services, and we have adapted and extended our reach to help individuals, families, and communities build resiliency and manage mental health challenges due to COVID-19.
- Our crisis line counselors are helping an ever-increasing number of individuals who are reaching out expressing fear, anxiety, and uncertainty as the pandemic continues. Counselors who answer these free, 24/7 lines have become the emotional safety net for anyone who is having a difficult time adjusting or coping in these challenging circumstances. We are expanding staff to increase capacity to ensure we are able to meet this growing need. Learn more about our hotlines:

These programs are lifelines for those who need supports and services, especially during this time of social distancing and limited access to resources. Learn more about our programs:
