211 is in its sixth decade of quality service, with over 3 million requests for help since 1971.
We started as a volunteer run 24-hour substance abuse and crisis hotline, founded by renowned psychologist Dr. Robert K. Alsofrom who was passionate about helping people struggling with depression, suicide, drug and alcohol abuse.
Over the years we have responded to the needs of our community and become one of the most utilized resources for Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast.
211 Palm Beach/Treasure Coast’s mission is to save lives through crisis intervention and by connecting people to health, mental health, and wellness services 24 hours a day every day. 211’s highly trained staff are the responders for the new national 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health/suicide crisis or is struggling with substance use, dial 2-1-1 or 9-8-8…24/7.
