About
24-Hour Crisis Lines: We operate the 24 hour suicide prevention crisis lines for the entire county of Contra Costa. 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 staff and volunteers, the lines provide counseling, support, and resource information to people experiencing personal crisis as well as those contemplating suicide. We also handle all night, weekend, and holiday suspicion of child abuse report calls to Childrens Protective Services and suspicion of elder abuse and dependent adult calls to Adult Protective Services both of the Employment & Human Services Department of Contra Costa County.
