Hi Everyone,
Effective September 1, 2009 the Teen Touch Helpline will no longer be operational.
We have seen many changes since our inception 26 years ago and the emergence of texting, online resources and social network have contributed significantly to a decrease in call volume. Given the shift in the way youth are communicating the Board of Directors came to the decision to close the organization with our final day of operation being October 31, 2009.
We would like to thank our dedicated volunteers, staff and Board members for their ongoing support and dedication.
To our callers:
We understand that you may be feeling a sense of loss at this time, for some of you have been using our service for many years. We would encourage you to continue to seek support in times of distress by contacting Klinic’s 24-hour crisis line at 786-8686 OR 1-888-322-3019. The individuals who staff thier phone line are caring, mature and sensitve to issues affecting youth and we have the utmost confidence in their ability to provide support and referals.
Respectfully,
Kelly H.
Acting Executive Director
