What if Ive got an emergency and need help immediately? Can I contact CID for emergency situations, financial or otherwise?
CID is not set up to handle emergencies, and we do not have an emergency loan program. In case of emergency where immediate physical help is required, or if you feel your life is threatened or in danger, call 911. There are crisis hotlines at the following numbers: Suicide Prevention — North County 650-692-6655, South County 650-368-6655. The number for the Crisis Center is 650-692-6655. We do not have social workers or case managers here at our agency. We are not a drop-in agency. It’s best to call and schedule an appointment with someone, to make sure they will be available and can set aside time from their other work or appointments. There are social workers available at the TIES line (Teamwork Insuring Elder Support), and they can answer many questions you may have about services available in the community. Their number is 1-800-675-8437.
