Description

What is "Call For Help"? Call For Help is a not-for-profit community service agency created in 1970 to provide a listening ear and a concerned advocate for those facing a crisis or other problem in their lives. Because people need help at all hours of the day, most of our services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We serve troubled youth, victims of sexual abuse/assault, the mentally ill, the homeless, those contemplating suicide, and anyone who reaches out to us in need of support and assistance. Our philosophy is to promote positive mental health, to build coping skills, and to help individuals recognize alternatives and options open to them. We serve those in need without regard to age, race, religion, or gender. We believe all persons should be treated with respect and dignity. Our services have grown and expanded to meet community needs.
