| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
Suicide Prevention of Yolo County provides 24-hour Telephone Crisis Line services for the County. Services are provided in English and Spanish, and provision made for providing services in appropriate languages as needed, including Russian, a threshold language in Yolo County. Suicide Prevention maintains local and toll free numbers, is listed with the National Suicide Prevention telephone line, and maintains both accreditation with the American Association of Suicidology, and membership with the California Suicide Prevention Network.
Approval of this third amendment is needed in order to sustain the increased cost of 24-hour services.
HHSA is confident that Suicide Prevention is the correct and ideal home for this crisis line service. There is no other local comparable accredited hotline available to provide this critical service in the mental health continuum of care.
