The California Youth Crisis Line is a statewide, 24-hour confidential hotline that serves as a support and referral service, linking youth (ages 12 to 24) and families in crisis to local services in California. During high-volume call periods, overflow calls may be answered by counselors at the National Runaway Safeline. There is also an IM chat option available during limited hours.
