The Friendship Line is both a crisis intervention center and a “warm” line for routine, even daily, phone calls that provide emotional support and well-being check-ins. The line has never gone unanswered since 1973 and Institute on Aging’s staff and volunteers field approximately 11,000 inbound and outbound calls per month. A program of Institute on Aging’s Center for Elderly Suicide Prevention and Grief-Related Services, the Friendship Line is nationally known and accredited by the American Association of Suicidology.
California: 888.670.1360
This program serving the community is funded by the City of San Francisco’s Department of Disability and Aging Services.

Congratulations to Glen Fishman, IOA`s Elder Abuse Prevention Program Development Specialist, who was recently honored by SF DA Jenkins and the larger SF community for his unwavering commitment to elder abuse prevention.
Glen and a handful of leaders accepted the Community Champion award yesterday, kicking off National Crime Victim’s Rights Week. In his 10 years with IOA, Glen has held various positions and is currently a leader in the Elder Abuse Prevention Program.
We are honored to work alongside him to create a safer community for our elders. Please join us in congratulating Glen, one of SF’s Community Champions!

We were thrilled to welcome the "Songbirds" to our Enrichment Center! 🎶🎤🎵
Our adult day program participants enjoyed dancing and singing along, and we loved seeing them light up with joy from the performance!

Our Community Living Services team had a blast at @palaceescape last week!
