Their grief brought them together; now they help others on the same painful path

Donations will allow Contra Costa Crisis Center to staff their Grief Counseling Services Coordination. The Crisis Center has been facilitating such conversations since 1963. The nonprofit is accredited by the American Association of Suicidology, and it provides 24/7 support and counseling for those in crisis, in distress, or feeling suicidal, 365 days a year. Its mission is to keep those in crisis alive until the storm passes.
