Please don't wait for a response from us.

Ladders to Peace is an educational mentoring program. We cannot respond to emergencies, and submitting an application does not create an emergency-support relationship. If there is any chance someone is in immediate danger, please reach out to people who can respond right now.

In the United States

  • Call 911 for any immediate physical emergency.
  • Call or text 988 — the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — for suicide, mental-health, or substance-use crisis support. Available 24/7, free and confidential.

Outside the United States

Please contact your local emergency number, or find a crisis line in your country at findahelpline.com.

After everyone is safe

When the immediate situation has passed and everyone is safe, you're welcome to return and explore whether Ladders to Peace is a fit for your family.
