Contact Greater Philadelphia is a non-profit, United Way agency that provides free-of-charge, objective, confidential and anonymous telephone-based warm line, crisis intervention and suicide hotline services. Recipients of Contact’s services generally reside in the Greater Philadelphia area, including Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties. Contact’s intensively trained volunteers assess suicide calls for those individuals who may be at imminent risk of engaging in an act of lethal self-injury and request lifesaving intervention from emergency services where appropriate. Contact’s volunteers come from your own community. Every Contact listener is skilled in active listening and emotional crisis intervention. In addition, these caring community members are taught to utilize a comprehensive computer-based infrastructure, which targets local referrals for needs-based services. These services include areas such as housing, utilities, and medical services. Contact also operates a telephone Reassurance Program, which pairs volunteers with isolated or home-bound seniors and disabled individuals. The purpose of this free service is to provide daily safety checks and social interaction. Contact Greater Philadelphia has been serving Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties for over 37 years. Contact fields tens of thousands of crisis calls on an annual basis. For some individuals, Contact Greater Philadelphia is their primary source of assistance and support. Contact volunteers help callers to deal with a wide spectrum of crisis situations and emotional challenges, including suicidal thoughts, depression, grief, alcohol or drug dependence, job loss and an enormous range of domestic and relationship issues. All services are provided free-of-charge. If you want to know more about Contact Greater Philadelphia, please click on the “More About Contact” tab above. SEEKING HELP AND/OR A CARING LISTENER?
