Description

Our mission is to keep people in Contra Costa County, California alive and safe, help them through crises, and connect them with culturally relevant resources in the community. We do this by operating five county-wide programs: -24-Hour Crisis Lines. We operate Contra Costa County’s suicide prevention hotline. Founded in 1963, it was one of the first of its kind in the U.S. All local calls to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (800.273.TALK and 800.SUICIDE) are routed here. Staffed by highly-trained volunteers, the line provides counseling, support, and resource information to people experiencing personal crises as well as those contemplating suicide. We also handle all night, weekend, and holiday child abuse calls to Children’s Protective Services and elder abuse calls to Adult Protective Services.
