Contra Costa Suicide Prevention Coalition
The Contra Costa Suicide Prevention Coalition is a multi-disciplinary, multi-agency collaborative that oversees implementation of the county's Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan.
The Coalition's goals are to raise community awareness about suicide and its causes, to decrease stigma around suicide and mental health, and support the development of resources that will help reduce suicide rates in Contra Costa County.
If you are experiencing a mental or emotional crisis or having thoughts of suicide, call 211 or text HOPE to 20121 any time of day or night.
The Contra Costa Suicide Prevention Coalition is not for crisis intervention.
