TEEN LINE is a teen-to-teen hotline and outreach program affiliated with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
Under the supervision of Mental Health professionals, teen volunteers help their peers cope with the confusion and turmoil of adolescence. Every night from 6 to 10 p.m., teen listeners answer calls from troubled peers - helping them to explore options, offering referrals to community resources or many times, just listening. By providing an empathetic, confidential and non-judgmental arena where teens can talk about their problems, TEEN LINE staff and volunteers make a real difference … in some cases, a life-saving one.
TEEN LINE also reaches out to the community with our Community Outreach Program, going directly into schools and youth groups to talk about topics pertinent to teenagers. We offer our expertise and training to community groups, including the Los Angeles Police Department’s Juvenile Procedure Training School, where we have provided our Teen Suicide Prevention Training since 1996. We also offer this training to other local law enforcement agencies, as well as the LAUSD School Police, DARE, the American Red Cross and other community groups.
