Our facility is in downtown Barrington at 231 West Main Street (two houses east of Dundee Avenue on Lake Cook Road). Our parking is in the back so you can discretely enter and we are 100% confidential. We are at the house from 5:30am-8:30am Monday-Friday as we find that many teenagers contemplate suicide before school. We are here to help anyone, in any age group, we want to help take away the pain. We are on call 24 hours a day, we are here to see you in person, we will come to Live-Love Hope house to help you.

Suicide has touched most people somehow, perhaps a loved one or a friend. What is scary is that in age groups 15-24 and 25-34,  suicide is the second leading cause of death in the United States. Even more sad is for kids between the ages of 10-14, it is the third leading cause of death. For our valuable veterans, we are losing them to suicide at a rate of 22 souls a day.
