If you are aware of other helplines or organizations that might benefit our members, please let us know.
Please understand that while DailyStrength cares deeply about our users and their wellbeing, we also believe in anonymity as a key part of what enables people to share on our site. For that reason, we do not collect phone numbers or home addresses of our users and lack the resources, information and tools to investigate or call local authorities in the event of an emergency. Forwarding the above hotline information is the best resource both we and you can provide to someone in need.
Just had to try and do something, I hate sitting here and doing nothing to help.
A feeling I am sure we are all feeling right now.
