hotline


Does anyone know of a website that lists hotlines?  I needed one yesterday and floundered around way too long for my own sanity trying to find one.  I didn't need it for myself but for someone who had called me seeking help.

I did finally find what I wanted but it would have been very nice to have it at hand when I needed it.

What type of hotline number did you need? In the front of the white pages here in VA, there is a list of various types of hotline numbers. It is in the very beginning of the "Blue Pages", which lists all of the local and state numbers. There is a section on Alcohol & Drug Abuse, Child Abuse, Healthcare, Legal, State Police. All of those types of things. Hope this helps you to find the info you are looking for.

Good Luck.
Sincerely,
QOD

Thanks QOD,
Yesterday I was needing the hotline for NA in the Kansas City Area. We don't live there so we didn't have the local phone books. We did find it and got a 12 step call made. I'll keep looking until I have all of them handy for when I need them.

I work both tha Al-Anon and Naranon sides of the program so I get calls from both sides as well as for AA and NA. There are times when I don't like being so diverse but if I can help I want to be able to steer people in the direction they need to go.

WOW thank you so much! ! !

I have bookmarked all of the links. I will take some time this evening to familarize myself with them a bit more. 

I hate it when someone calls asking for help and I get so flustered I sound like a blooming idiot on the phone.
