Mission Statement:

The Idaho Suicide Prevention Hotline, a program of Jannus, is committed to the prevention of suicide in Idaho. The hotline provides crisis intervention, emotional support, resource referrals, linkages to local services, and follow-up for all Idahoans, including those at risk for suicide and their families and loved ones. ISPH listens supportively to callers, empowering them to look at options and come up with their own solutions.

Philosophy/Belief Statement:

You can expect to receive professional training, caring support and supervision from our outstanding team, assuring you have the knowledge and skills to make a difference in the lives of our callers. Work experience not necessary, lived experience a plus!
Crisis Phone Responders are a necessary and critical resource to the work of the ISPH. We could
not provide our services without the generous commitment of so many in our community. When you
volunteer with ISPH you can expect to receive professional training and caring support and supervision
from our outstanding team. Our goal is to assure you have the knowledge and skills to make a difference in
the lives of our callers.
