Our Crisis Center is here to assist you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in any stressful crisis situation. Our counselors are fully trained in crisis intervention, and are here to listen and help you find a solution for your immediate needs, as well as help you cope with stress in the future.
If needed, we will connect you to outside parties who can help support you during this time. We will also follow up with you later on to ensure the situation has continued to improve and suggest adjustments to your crisis intervention plan as necessary.

As of May 25, 2021, the Crisis Center of Family Services relocated from its longtime location in downtown Green Bay to the Community Treatment Center campus at 3150 Gershwin Drive, Green Bay, WI 54311.
This newly constructed, state-of-the-art facility was designed with the people of Brown County in mind and offers an abundance of natural light – a feature the Crisis Center team believes will promote peace and healing for the people they serve from the moment they arrive.
Those in need of services by phone or in person can call (920) 436-8888 to speak with a professional crisis counselor 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We follow the principles of least-restrictive, client-centered and trauma-informed care, so our goal is to achieve safety and stabilization in the least restrictive setting possible. While hospitalization does occur at times, it is our last and least used option.
While our counselors can listen and provide support and referrals for nearly any type of situation, the program is very limited in its ability to provide financial assistance. In situations where the Crisis Center cannot offer direct assistance to meet one’s needs, referrals to community partners will be offered.
The Crisis Center is not designed or intended to provide ongoing counseling services and therefore does not assign any one counselor to a case. If you are interested in making an appointment for outpatient counseling services, please visit our Counseling Clinic.
All staff have access to the same records so we are able to provide seamless service across counselors. If an individual prefers to speak with an individual of a certain gender, we will try to accommodate this request to the best of our ability based upon our current staffing.
