West Coast Recovery's plan is to blend into the neighborhood. You probably will not even know we are here. KidCall, a community service of the Lucile Salter Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford, is a toll-free telephone line for children throughout the Bay Area who are home by themselves after school. Specially screened and trained volunteers, supported by pediatric nurses, provide comfort, information and emotional support support to children by phone. The program does not interfere with pre-established family procedures and parental instructions.
Callers remain anonymous.
Your confidential health questions can be answered by nurses. Representatives from San Jose Mounted Police force, the San Jose Motorcycle force, the San Jose Fire Department, Officer Bob Lobach from the San Jose Crime Prevention Unit accompanied by the '93 Dodge Stealth, and the Safety Robot made an impressive appearance.
