First Call for Help of Itasca County is a private, nonprofit organization that provides round-the-clock crisis intervention, active listening, and information and referral services to residents and agencies in North Central Minnesota. Based in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, the group aims to offer free, confidential, and nonjudgmental support 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It serves a community-oriented mission within the civic and social services sector, addressing immediate crisis needs and connecting individuals to appropriate resources. The organization operates in the broad field of crisis support, directing clients to relevant services in the region while supporting agencies with a responsive helpline. In recent developments, the organization expanded its role by signing to provide mobile crisis response services for the Cook County Department of Public Health, following a May 2026 decision by county leadership. This indicates ongoing collaboration with local public health entities to deliver mandated crisis response capabilities.
