Edgewood was founded in 1851 by Elizabeth Waller (think Waller street in San Francisco) to help children orphaned during the Gold Rush. Since those wild west days, Edgewood has expanded its mission by offering nearly 30 programs and services that help children and young adults in San Francisco and San Mateo counties who are struggling with trauma, abuse, and neglect. Enjoy a look back in time (through the link below) as we celebrate Edgewood's rich history in the community then and now! Take a pictorial tour through Edgewood's history>> TEENS IN CRISIS SUICIDE PREVENTION  National Suicide Prevention month was held in September across the country - a time to raise awareness around suicide issues and the resources available to help those in desperate times. Sadly, suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people between the ages of 10 and 24. Learn how our Crisis Stabilization Unit helps depressed and despondent youth and their families in order to get them to a safe space and find out who you can contact 24/7 to receive immediate help.
