The Hub of Hope exists to help prevent suicide and foster resilience by offering compassionate support, education, and community connection—ensuring no one struggles alone.

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

HUB OF HOPE RESOURCES:

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.

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.
