CONTACT marks 9th year as telephone helpline for county

On Aug. 25 CONTACT Putnam County marked nine years as the free telephone helpline in this area. From the beginning, CONTACT has provided trained workers to assist callers with their personal concerns. Additional services have been added as the need became apparent. Although the largest number of calls continues to come from people who need to talk to an interested, anonymous person, many others use the information and referral service for Putnam County and central Indiana. Probably the most requested number is for free legal help. Other topics range from alcohol abuse to Tots’ Time baby sitting service to veterans’ rights. HELP FOR ABUSED wives is provided by CONTACT in cooperation with Family Support Services. A woman in need of assistance can talk with one of the trained Domestic Crisis volunteers or she may decide to go to a safe location. A second cooperative program offers free furniture to people who have lost furnishings in a fire or who cannot afford to buy basic items. A second call is necessary to confirm need and may come from a social service representative, a minister, or another person who knows the situation-but not a relative or friend. CONTACT Putnam County is one of approximately ninety CONTACT centers throughout the United States and is a member of the international organization called Lifeline. From
