CONTACT Community Helplines

This agency serves Camden, Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem Counties. All services are free and confidential, and the motto is, “Helping people - one call at a time.”

Services provided to people in Cumberland County include:

• CONTACT Helpline 1-877-266-8222 24-hour/day every day
• Addictions Hotline of NJ 1-800-238-2333 24-hour/day every day
• TeenLine 1-888-375-TEEN Mon-Fri, 3:30-9:00 PM
• At the time of this posting online, we don’t know if KidsLine is available in Cumberland County or not but will check. Kidsline has teens call children home alone after school to check on their safety and provide support. Call 856-795-5073 to refer a child (if the service is available in Cumberland County).
• Camden and Gloucester Counties have a Reassurance Program in which volunteers make daily calls to seniors who live alone. It appears that this program is not yet available in Cumberland County.

Volunteers are needed to make CONTACT Helpline available in Spanish. At the time of the presentation to the City of Bridgeton’s Mayor’s Campaign for a Healthier Bridgeton (November 19, 2003), it was said that the service has access to a “language line” but hopes to get bilingual volunteers because a language line involves a third person in the conversation and so compromises confidentiality somewhat.

Para mas información en español por favor llame a Diane Jackson, 856-795-5073.

All volunteers are said to be trained to be non-judgmental and empathetic.

It was also announced that CONTACT will be our area’s provider for the new 211 services which are federally funded and should be available around July, 2004.
