Description

The Girls and Boys Town National Hotline is a 24-hour crisis, resource and referral line. Accredited by the American Association of Suicidology, the Hotline has been in operation since 1989 and is staffed by trained counselors who can respond to questions every day of the week, 365 days a year. Approximately 250,000 callers contact the hotline annually to receive help relating to being suicidal, physically or sexually abused, on the run, addicted, threatened by gang violence, fighting with a parent, a parent frustrated by a child, scared of a spouse, or faced with an overwhelming challenge. Visitors can also chat online with counselors every Monday (except holidays) from 8 to 9 PM CST.
