OUR VISION: An Alameda County in which everyone - in all of our diversity - feels a sense of belonging through a comprehensive approach to suicide prevention. Help us achieve that vision with your donation today. We provide comprehensive suicide prevention and crisis intervention services in Alameda County with our 988 and local crisis line and text line, youth outreach and rapid response team, community education, and individual and group therapy for youth, adults, and older adults.

At Crisis Support Services of Alameda County, we provide a range of crisis support programs to our community, and work to address the gaps in the crisis system through expanding our offerings. In the last year, we have:
  • Added overnight text line services in order to meet a 40% increase in overnight text line requests
  • Created the Organizing and Responding to Crisis for Alameda Youth (ORCA) Program to provide immediate and caring support for youth who have had a recent emergency department visit
  • Added grief therapy services for couples who have lost a child to suicide

However, we can’t do it alone.

Together, we can change the narrative surrounding suicide and mental health. Your support ensures that our vital programs continue to expand and reach even more people in need. Your donation will directly fund our 24-hour crisis line and text line services, therapeutic services, educational presentations, and outreach efforts that make a real, lasting impact. With your support, we will:
  • Expand the capacity of our 24/7 crisis call and text services for immediate support and intervention
  • Train and equip community members to be the first line of support for someone in crisis
  • Expand our outreach to reach communities where help is often out of reach
  • Provide clinical services to youth and older adults in their schools or homes

Together, we can make a difference, one person at a time. We all have a role to play in creating a world where people in crisis are met with care, understanding, and compassion. Every donation helps us to extend our services, support more individuals in crisis, and offer the hope and healing that so many desperately need.

Please consider making a donation today to help us turn the tide on this public health crisis. Together, we can be the support that someone needs to find their way out of darkness.
