Family Resources

CSC Leon does not provide direct services to families. However, we want to ensure families are connected to the best possible resources in our community. We strongly recommend you call 2-1-1 or visit them online at https://211bigbend.org/.

Just as you would call 9-1-1 for emergencies, you can call 2-1-1 for human service information and assistance. They are available 24 hours a day to listen and provide emotional support, crisis counseling, suicide prevention, and information & referrals. You do not have to be in crisis to call, there is no eligibility criteria, and services are free. They help you navigate through the maze of community services in a nonjudgmental manner. Because life is 24/7, so are they!
