Kids and parents can reach out any
time of the day or night for free, confidential, and
immediate crisis intervention by dialing 1-800-999-9999.
Help, support, and caring are provided immediately to every
Nineline caller. A conference call can be made on behalf of
a caller to any of the more than 26,000 local service
agencies in our nationwide database. For the kid who has
become a victim of the streets, a contact with a local
shelter can mean a meal, a bed, and an opportunity to
rebuild a life in a safe haven. For the child lost in the
pain and confusion of growing up, a listening ear can help
by providing support and guidance. For the abused child a
call to the Nineline can begin the process that will provide
safety for that child. |

The Hopeline Network 1-800-SUICIDE is
not a "new" hotline. It simply brings the tremendous
knowledge, skill and resources of existing Crisis Centers
under the safety net of a single, easy-to-remember,
toll-free telephone number. People in crisis generally don't
have the energy or ability to take on a long search for
help. The Hopeline Network makes appropriate, critical
services available to all. |
