The Listening Ear

To provide free and confidential service for telephone and walk-in clients in crisis.

The Listening Ear Crisis Intervention Center has been open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year since July 15, 1969. We provide free and confidential service for telephone and walk-in clients in crisis. We define crisis as "any situation in which your normal coping mechanisms are ineffective or unavailable." Our volunteers are trained to deal with crises that include depression, suicide, loneliness, sexual assault, grief, and many others. We also provide referrals for services throughout the Lansing area.
