Janus of Santa Cruz

For over 30 years, Janus of Santa Cruz has provided caring, effective substance abuse treatment while guiding thousands of people toward wellness and recovery.

On National Suicide Prevention Day, we encourage our Santa Cruz community to:
- Check in with someone who may be struggling.
- Listen without judgment.
- Encourage connection to behavioral health or recovery support.
- If someone is in crisis, call or text 988

[Janus of Santa Cruz @JanusOfSC]

At Janus of Santa Cruz, we believe that recovery is possible, and no one should have to navigate it alone.
For people living with substance use challenges, mental health concerns, or both, moments of crisis can feel overwhelming. That’s why compassion and access to care matter.

For decades, Swenson Builders has been a valued part of the Santa Cruz community. We’re incredibly thankful for their support of our 50th Anniversary Gala and the work we do to help individuals and families. Our gala would not be possible without generous partners like Swenson.

If you or someone you love are struggling with addiction, mental health, or just need support, these helplines are available 24/7.
The road to healing always starts with reaching out to those who are willing to listen.

At Janus, we’re proud to be part of this work. From operating the Santa Cruz County Sobering Center to providing naloxone and medications for opioid use disorder, our teams are focused on meeting people where they are and helping keep our community safe and connected to care.

Overdose deaths in Santa Cruz County are falling for the third year in a row - an encouraging sign that community-wide prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery efforts are making a difference.

CEO Amber Williams of Janus is proud to support the Santa Cruz County Public Defender’s Office in their recently launched Bridge Program!

This initiative provides essential support to our justice-served friends, offering resources like meal assistance, rental aid, transportation, and even equine therapy.

Together, we’re helping create second chances and empowering our community to thrive.

Some organizations provide services. Some provide resources. And some help people find their way back to themselves. That’s what Janus of Santa Cruz has been doing for decades. Today, on National Nonprofit Day, we’re celebrating the people who make that work possible.
