WHAT WE DO
WHAT WE DO

Making compassion scalable since 1992.

Reliable 24-hour crisis response requires continuous access to highly trained, experienced call takers. That wasn’t scalable until Protocall became the solution, providing direct access to trained counselors nationwide.

 

When organizations struggled to meet surging needs for care, we developed Welltrack – an ecosystem of care options at the intersection of people and technology, designed by clinicians to meet people wherever they are in the behavioral health journey.

 

Today, we continue to set the pace of innovation in our field – putting learning into practice in real-time, reinforcing communities’ resilience, elevating the customer experience, and bringing out the best in each other. Three decades of experience have taught us when to fall back on technology and when immediate human connection is needed – expertise that’s more relevant than ever in the digital age.

 

We’ve made it our mission to develop and maintain the best possible platform and solutions, and to nurture the right team to deliver them. Our combination of trusted professionals, advanced technology, high-availability infrastructure, and seamless, customized support is setting the industry standard for round-the-clock access to help.
