    For more than 30 years, the California Coalition for Youth has operated the California Youth Crisis Line (CYCL), a toll-free helpline available 24 hours a day to youth and their families in crisis or need. The CYCL receives 20,000+ calls annually; highly trained counselors respond to these calls with confidential and non-judgmental crisis intervention counseling. They also provide referrals to assist callers with issues such as family problems, runaway and homelessness, depression, bullying, teen pregnancy, substance abuse, suicide, and more.
