Suicide and Crisis Center of North Texas

organized in 1969, the suicide and crisis center of north texas (sccenter) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit suicide and crisis prevention center located in dallas, texas. our mission: "helping those in crisis, especially suicidal crisis, find hope for the future." we strive to identify warning signs of suicidal behavior, facilitate the return to a pre-crisis state, enhance growth through effective problem solving and ultimately prevent self-destructive behavior. sccenter accomplishes its overall mission with 1) 24/7 crisis counseling through our crisis line; 2) awareness training and mental health checkups with our "teens can survive" program; and 3) grief support with our survivors of suicide* grief support program. (*a survivor of suicide, in this sense, is described as an individual who has lost a loved one to suicide ~ a suicide loss survivor.) since 1996, we have also provided suicide and crisis intervention training to north texas police department and swat teams. american associat
