Organizations Filed Purposes:
The Center accomplishes its mission by operating four county-wide programs: (1) 24-Hour Crisis Lines, (2) Grief Counseling, and (3) 211 Information and Referral.
The Contra Costa Crisis Center's 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.
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.
211 is the national, toll-free, three-digit phone number to call for help and information, and were the authorized 211 provider in Contra Costa County. Trained resource specialists answer calls from people in the community who need health and social services. We also partner with our Counties Office of Emergency Services to respond in a disaster. Our 211 database has up to-date information on 2,500 resources for local residents, and is accessible free of charge in multiple languages. We also publish a parenting guide of essential services in both English and Spanish.
Our grief counseling program is one of the oldest and most diverse Bereavement services in California. Started in 1973, it provides group counseling to children, teens and adults mourning a death. Grief support groups are conducted by trained volunteers. Our groups serve children who have lost family members and friends, parents who have lost children, survivors after suicide loss, and many others. All counseling is provided free of charge. We also have a 24-hour grief call line, as well as a special team of trained staff and volunteers that provides mobile grief counseling at schools and businesses following a traumatic death, including suicide.
