Saving teen lives with
a connection to hope

As Arizona’s only teen-to-teen crisis hotline, Teen Lifeline has been a crucial connection to hope for struggling teens for nearly 40 years.

Paired with youth development, suicide prevention education, Caring Contacts, and School ID Initiative programs, we’re making a world where all youth possess a sense of connectedness and hope for their future.

Every year, more and more teens reach out for help when they’re in crisis. In 2024 alone, we answered over 46,000 calls/texts on the hotline.
