Youth Intervention Team:
If you are a middle or high school staff member and are worried
that one of your students may be suicidal, call our Crisis Line
at 650.579.0350 during school hours and ask for a Youth Outreach.
One of our on-call counselors will quickly return your call, discuss
the situation with you and come to your school to assess the at-risk
youth, then assist them in getting the help they need.
Suicide Education:
Provides interactive workshops covering topics such as suicide
myths and facts, risk factors, warning signs and how to talk to
someone who is suicidal. For information, please call 650.579.0359

Teen Chat Room:
This is a great volunteer opportunity for teens in San Mateo County.
This website is "for teens, by teens." It provides accurate
mental health referrals and information for topics such as suicide,
depression, eating disorders, health, sexual identity and drug
abuse. The site offers a live online chat that gives youth the
opportunity to communicate with volunteer peer counselors. It
is like a Crisis Hotline, but on the internet. The chat room is
open Monday through Thursday, 4:30 pm - 9:30 pm (PST). Click here www.onyourmind.net to go to the website.
