This advertisement is currently featured in the January 5th, 2006 edition of The Stranger on page 8. It will continue to appear for the next 10 weeks thanks to a grant from the Mental Wellness Foundation that is aiding Teen Link in increasing the visibility of the program.

The design is similar in style to the current cover of the Where to Turn for Teens resource guide and the interior Metro bus ads, which were also funded by the grant.

Teen Link has Cathy Barragan, Crisis Clinic’s Graphic Designer, and the Peer Advisory Board to thank for all their hard work in creating such a vibrant design that we hope will appeal to youth and help raise the awareness of the services that we provide.

Teenlink is strongly committed to providing a confidential and accessible place teens can call to talk about what's concerning them, helping youth explore their options and make healthy, self-respecting decisions. In the following pages you will find information and resources teens can use to assist them in dealing with the complex challenges they face everyday.

If you have a friend who tells you he or she is thinking about killing him/herself, take that person seriously and, most importantly, be a good listener. Finally, don’t keep a secret that may end a life. Tell a trusted adult if you believe a friend is considering suicide.

If you’re a teen and want to talk with another teen anonymously and confidentially about whatever is on your mind, call Teen Link at:
