ABOUT THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

At the SAFE Program, we are dedicated to the health and safety of our clients and clinicians. As a result of the Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Emergency Declaration, the staff of the SAFE Program is working remotely providing telehealth services. This interactive telecommunication technology includes audio and video.

If you need to reach someone at the SAFE program, you can still leave a voice message on their office phone; a clinician will return your call as soon as possible.

If you are experiencing a clinical emergency, please contact Re:Solve Crisis Services at 1-888-796-8226.
