CHILDREN SERVICES
All services at Helpline House are cost-free, including social work appointments. Social work and counseling appointments are available to any community member in need and are not income-based.
If further assistance is needed, please schedule an appointment with a social worker. Needs include local, state, and federal resources for local residents coping with new sudden life changes; ie unstable housing concerns, mental health concerns, navigating health insurance, domestic violence support, veterans affairs, and more, which are not always financial.
