California Department of Aging (CDA) has partnered with  The Institute on Aging to expand the Friendship Line's ability to accept calls from older Californians from any county! The  Friendship Line is the only accredited crisis line in the country for older adults, adults living with disabilities, and their caregivers.
 

The phone line is staffed with specialists who provide emotional support, grief support, active suicide intervention, information and referrals. Sometimes the road to happiness begins by simply saying hello to someone who cares. If you, or a loved one, could benefit from a friendly conversation, dial 1-888-670-1360.
