Crisis Care
Too often, crisis clients are overlooked due to the assumption that the Indian immigrant community is uniformly affluent, highly educated, and supported by strong family ties. In reality, many face their most vulnerable moments alone - and it is in these times that they turn to IACS.
Crisis Support is one of our most critical services, providing immediate and ongoing assistance to those who need it the most.

It is not uncommon for members of our community to face a sudden crisis or overwhelming challenge. Sometimes it is an emergency related to health, mental wellness, loss of employment, immigration issues and at times even untimely death of a loved one.
More often than one can imagine, we encounter cases of domestic violence that raises its ugly head leading to trauma and emotional wounding in all forms. When such crisis occurs, the domino effect — leading to mental health struggles, financial hardships, immigration-related challenges, and disruptions to basic livelihood needs stemming from such crisis can make difficult times truly unbearable.
This is when the IACS Crisis Care Team steps in. The IACS team has historically been there for the community, oftentimes first at the scene of an emergency or crisis to help the people involved. We are committed to providing 100% free and confidential services, ensuring that every individual feels safe, respected, and supported.
