Lee Ellen Marvin on the Ithaca Crisis Line

Posted on August 17, 2017 by Michayla Savitt

Ithaca Crisis Line, the regional branch of National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, strives to save lives through active listening since its origin in 1969. In my first installment of The Scoop on Mental Health since joining WHCU, I spoke with Lee-Ellen Marvin, the agency’s Executive Director, about why the Crisis Line is vital to the local community.

If you see warning signs of suicide, or just need support, call 1-800-273-TALK at anytime.
