This September, in honor of Suicide Prevention Awareness month, and after 56 years of keeping our location confidential, CSS is kicking off a stigma reduction campaign titled “We Are Here” by adding street signage to our building in Oakland. We want to show how proud we are of the work that we do and to model that suicide prevention is an important part of our community. Join us TOMORROW at 5pm for this great event.

[ID: Overlaid in the center on an aerial view satellite map is a large white map pin with the CSS logo on top of a globe. On the map pin, underneath the logo are the words "We are here!" in grey and burgundy. Centered below the map pin in white letters is "Save the date for sign unveiling and open house: September 22nd 2022". Centered at the top of the image is the CSS banner logo in grey and burgundy with a sub banner that says "Serving our community since 1966".]
