The Crisis Intervention and Suicide Prevention Center in San Mateo County, which is operated by StarVista<\/a>, began receiving calls to the number 988 this week, as part of the national network for responding to this type of event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local callers to 988 will receive free, confidential support 24\/7 through the StarVista Crisis Center hotline program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) called 988 a first step toward a transformed crisis care system in the United States. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are a San Mateo County resident without a 650 area code and would like to access the StarVista Crisis Center, you can call Lifeline at 650-579-0350, which remains available after the launch of 988 on July 16, 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStarVista\u2019s Crisis Center is honored to be one of only 13 call centers in the state of California to literally answer the call for this new initiative,\u201d said Taylor Coutts, Program Manager for StarVista\u2019s Crisis Intervention and Suicide Prevention Hotline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur hotline team stands ready to support this initiative in this capacity and we look forward to the ways this will positively shape crisis services in our communities in the years to come,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is comprised of more than 200 state-funded and local Crisis Centers across the country. The StarVista Crisis Center is a participating call center that operates the 24\/7 crisis hotline at 650-579-0350. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most Lifeline calls with a 650 area code are forwarded to the StarVista Crisis Center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the addition of 988, the program hopes to see an increase in calls to its center.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

StarVista is a nonprofit agency that provides high-impact services through counseling, case management, skills development, and crisis prevention to children, youth, adults, and families. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

StarVista Suicide Prevention and Crisis Intervention Center provides suicide intervention services and programs for San Mateo County residents, including a 24-hour crisis hotline, a mobile youth crisis response team, online and text-based crisis support for teens, and educational presentations for the community and schools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
