To Be Honest Podcast

Today on the podcast, we are talking with Jenn Johal, MPH, a Community Education Trainer and certified Mental health first aid trainer for Crisis Support Services of Alameda County. Through her work, she provides both suicide prevention trainings as well as mental health first aid trainings which equip adults with the knowledge and information needed to notice the signs and symptoms of a mental health crisis. She also works on the receiving end of Alameda County’s 24/7 crisis line and can provide some insight into what it’s like to call a crisis line.

Youth in Alameda County can also access the 24/7 Crisis Line by dialing 1-800-309-2131 or text SAFE to 20121 between 4pm and 11pm.
