Call2Talk is a mental health, emotional support, and suicide prevention program run by Mass211. It operates 24/7 and provides confidential, compassionate listening to assist people – including those who may be despondent or considering suicide – during stressful times. Call2Talk is a National Suicide Prevention Lifeline Crisis Center and partners with Crisis Text Line to respond to people by text.

Besides its primary function as a helpline, Call2Talk also provides the following:

• TeleCheck – a telephone check-in service for isolated older adults living at home in partnership with Springwell and Advocates, Inc. Serving MetroWest.
   
• LOSSteam MetroWest – LOSSteam MetroWest (Local Outreach to Suicide Survivors) is a volunteer immediate crisis support team. Its members are suicide loss survivors who are called to the scene of a suicide within the first 12/24 hours to provide support and local resources to the newly bereaved. LTMW officially launched in June 2017 through a partnership with the Ashland Police Department and with the support of Call2Talk and the MetroWest Regional Coalition for Suicide Prevention.
