Headrest

a nonprofit organization that began at Dartmouth College in 1971 and is now located in Lebanon, NH. Headrest provides the only 24-hour crisis hotline for New Hampshire, Vermont, and parts of Maine, and it has logged over 408,000 hours of continuous service to the Upper Valley and beyond. In 2016, this meant answering 8,200 phone calls, half of which were considered crisis calls, including nearly 900 suicide-related calls. Headrest also provides low intensity residential services as well as outpatient services to those recovering from and affected by substance use disorder. Your participation in our largest fundraising event, Rail Trail Ramble, helps us meet our goal of providing both excellent crisis and substance abuse recovery support.
