Get To Know Us
You’re Not Alone
Hope and Discovery Center was established to provide support for children, teenagers and adults experiencing crisis. We have developed programs to help those at risk deal with traumatic experiences such as war, terror, abuse, and even natural disasters.
Hope and Discovery Center has been serving San Francisco since 2000. All our work is predicated on the belief that no one should have to face crisis alone. At our center, we build strong, lasting relationships with victims that seek our help. All services available to our community are based on shared understanding and collaboration. We are always within reach with our crisis hotline. If you are going through a crisis, please know that you are not alone. We are here to help.
