Who is your 3 a.m. friend? 🐾

A friend of Kids In Crisis recently shared that, for them, it's their dog. A gentle reminder that comfort and companionship sometimes come with four paws.

Everyone deserves someone they can count on, no matter the hour. For young people who need someone to talk to or somewhere safe to stay, Kids In Crisis is that 3 a.m. friend. Your support helps us be here, day and night.

Call or text 203-661-1911 any time to connect with a trained counselor.

Every young person deserves to feel heard.

This World Mental Health Day, let’s make space to listen. Ask how a young person is feeling, listen without judgment, and remind them they don’t have to navigate difficult moments alone.

Kids In Crisis is here for young people and families, any time, day or night. Call or text 203-661-1911 for free, confidential support from a live, trained counselor.

❤️ Save this number. Share it with someone who may need it.

We weathered the storm together at the 4th Annual Tea Dance! Inside Foundation House, the afternoon was filled with music and a community that believes every young person deserves welcoming spaces.

Thank you to co-chairs Bill Pierz and Chris Spiegelman, the Tea Dance Committee, and our Tea Dance sponsors. We’re also grateful to emcee Dan Guller, DJ Lady Tita, speaker Sergio D’Auria, The Norwalk Conservatory of the Arts, B.J. Ryan’s Restaurant Group, and Foundation House for making the celebration possible.

Take a look at some moments from this year’s Tea Dance!
