Mission

Our mission is to keep people alive and safe, help them through crisis, and provide or connect them with culturally relevant resources in the community. To this end, we operate Contra Costa County's 24-hour crisis, suicide, grief, homeless, child abuse, and elder abuse hotlines; we answer all local calls to the National Suicide Prevention Line. We also provide face-to-face grief counseling to children and adults mourning the death of a loved one; serve as a point of contact for homeless residents seeking services and housing; maintain an online database of 1,600 human services within 500+ organizations; provide outreach and training in suicide prevention, grief response and 211 information and referral; participate in local disaster preparedness and response services.
