You Are Not Alone

Suicidal thoughts can feel isolating and frightening — for the person experiencing them, and for the people who love them. If you are struggling, please know that what you are feeling is real, it matters, and there is help available.

At CLCHC, our behavioral health team is trained to provide compassionate, nonjudgmental support for individuals and families navigating some of the hardest moments of their lives. We are here for you.

Recognizing the Warning Signs

Knowing what to look for can save a life. Warning signs that someone may be struggling include:

Talking about wanting to die or not wanting to be here anymore
Expressing feelings of hopelessness, being trapped, or being a burden to others
Withdrawing from friends, family, and activities they once enjoyed
Giving away prized possessions
Sudden calmness after a period of depression (which can signal a decision has been made)
Increased use of alcohol or substances
Changes in sleep: Sleeping too much or not at all
Talking or writing about death

If you notice these signs in yourself or someone you care about, please reach out for support.

The CLCHC–Adam Raine Healing Center

A Place Built on Love, Loss, and Hope

CLCHC’s newest clinic in Mission Viejo — The CLCHC–Adam Raine Healing Center — is more than a building. It is a living tribute to a young life taken too soon, and a commitment to making sure other families receive the support they need.

Located at 26051 Acero, Mission Viejo, the Healing Center is dedicated to behavioral health and case management services, providing comprehensive, whole-person care to individuals and families throughout Orange County.

Sharing a home with the Healing Center is The Adam Raine Foundation — a nonprofit born from grief, guided by love, and committed to protecting other families from a similar loss.

About The Adam Raine Foundation

The Adam Raine Foundation (ARF) was founded to honor Adam Raine’s life and help other families. The foundation’s work focuses on two core missions:

Educating teens, parents, and mentors about the dangers of AI companionship — raising awareness about the emotional risks when young people replace human connection with artificial intelligence, and advocating for safer practices and policies in this rapidly growing space.
Providing financial assistance to lower-income families who have lost a teenager to suicide — helping cover funeral and related expenses during an already devastating time.

The Adam Raine Foundation was inspired by Adam’s younger sister Ellie, who, in the midst of her own grief, wanted to create something meaningful — something that would honor her brother and bring hope to others.

Coming Together for Our Community

The CLCHC–Adam Raine Healing Center represents the power of community coming together after tragedy. CLCHC is honored to partner with the Adam Raine Foundation in creating a place of healing — not just for those in mental health crisis, but for families who are rebuilding after loss.

We believe that grief, when met with compassion and community, can become a force for change. We are committed to carrying Adam’s memory forward in the most meaningful way we know: by caring for others.

For Parents and Young People

If you are a parent concerned about your child’s mental health — or a young person who is struggling — please reach out. You don’t have to wait for a crisis to ask for help. Our therapists work with children, teens, and families, and we are here to support you before, during, and after difficult moments.

If you have concerns about your child’s use of AI companions or online relationships, we encourage you to talk with one of our therapists. These are complex, evolving challenges — and you don’t have to navigate them alone.
