About us
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.

July 16th marks the day the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline transitioned from the National Suicide Prevention Line to the three-digit 988 Lifeline – making it easier for people who need it most to remember and get help. Didi Hirsch is proud to be a leading member of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988. When people call, text, or chat 988, they are connected to compassionate, non-judgmental crisis counselors who care – 24 hours a day, seven days a week, across the U.S. Read more about our work and advocacy to commemorate the one year anniversary of 988 in 2023 👇 #988Lifeline #SuicidePrevention #SuicideAwareness #DidiHirsch

As Pride Month comes to a close, we'd like to highlight the incredible allies we have working at our organization, like Seta, who has helped to facilitate an LGBTQ support group with GALAS (Gay and Lesbian Armenian Society) since 2022. "There are no terms in the Armenian language that describe topics that exist within the LGBTQ community,” said Seta. “Often times, people – especially youth – fear that coming out means having to choose between their families or living authentically.” Read about the important advocacy work she does below · (2 min read) #DidiHirsch #Pride #LGBTQ
