A sense of belonging has been shown to be a strong protective factor against suicide. Crisis Support Services of Alameda County increases a sense of belonging and reduces isolation by bringing people together.
One of those ways is by offering spaces for connection and healing through support groups available to the community and we do not turn anyone away for lack of funds.
With your support of these type of services, we can make a difference, one person at a time, in creating a world where people in crisis are met with care, understanding, and compassion. Your contribution, no matter the size, helps us to extend our suicide prevention services, support more individuals in crisis, and offer the hope and healing that so many desperately need.
