Your Mental Health is Important

In addition to avoiding contracting or spreading COVID-19 , our mental, emotional and physical health are just as important during this time. We want to encourage everyone to reach out, following social distancing guidelines, to your friends, loved ones, neighbors, and those people in your life that may be isolated to share information and be of service. If you are in crisis, please call the County Crisis Hotline at 1(855) 278-4204.

The County of Santa Clara Behavioral Health Services website has some great resources, in several languages, to support your wellness and ability to effectively cope during this time.

Community Solutions continues to provide services during this time.
