Sometimes, people cannot find a specific agency that meets their needs by looking in the telephone book or on the Internet. With one phone call, Community Helpline connects people directly to the help they need. Community Helpline can provide resources to people in need of emergency food and shelter, child care, transportation, legal aid, health care, counseling, and support groups. Community Helpline not only offers assistance to callers in need, we provide school programs on Substance Abuse Prevention to intermediate and high schools and offer Teen Helpline as a resource by distributing cards featuring the hotline phone number. Seminars are offered to educators, law enforcement officials, parent groups, and any organization or business interested in listening and communication skills.
Seminars are two to four hours and designed to meet the group's needs.
Our goals are to help increase school safety and improve the learning environment for students and teachers. Adults and teens with a desire to help those calling Community Helpline or seeking community service opportunities can attend a 45-hour training class. The class is held three times a year. These classes are conducted by mental health professionals. Additionally, Community Helpline provides extensive Outreach throughout the South Bay, Peninsula, and greater Los Angeles areas.
