Didi Hirsch has been a leader in whole-person mental health care and suicide prevention for more than 80 years. Our welcoming, culturally sensitive services put diverse children, adults, and families at the center as we respond to their complex health and human needs. Best-in-class outpatient care and residential facilities help those struggling with mental illness or substance use heal with dignity. Our Via Avanta center is one of the nation’s first where mothers can receive treatment and job training while living with their babies and young children – a whole-family approach keeping kids out of the foster system and mothers on the road to recovery so generations can thrive. Didi Hirsch is also home to the nation’s first and most comprehensive Suicide Prevention Center, a recognized global leader in crisis care quality and innovation. The Center’s multilingual, 24/7 crisis lines field calls, chats, and texts for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, the national Disaster Distress Helpline, Teen Line, LAUSD Line, and Crisis Chat, among others. It also provides suicide-specialized individual and family therapy, support groups for teens and adults who’ve lost someone to suicide, and support groups for adults who’ve survived an attempt. Didi Hirsch partners on suicide prevention research with top academic institutions, and trains thousands of students, teachers, mental health professionals, law enforcement officers and first responders to save lives each year. More than 1,000 staff and volunteers compassionately serve nearly 190,000 children, adults, and families annually in crisis, telehealth, outpatient, residential, community, and school-based settings. This account is not monitored 24/7. Dial 988 if you or someone you know need immediate mental health support.
