America's Hotline Directory - Similar companies

The two divisions of NAHSA are #4Help and HelpUnited. Our agency has NO paid staff or executives. We have over 40 volunteers ... operating various aspects of our company. Our mission is to share our database of all hotlines, helplines, text chat and web chat services built from from scratch. People in need of such a service, search our directory on our website or call #4Help (#44357) from their cell phone. Our directory contains 50,000 services and we've made it easy to search. Following a search, searchers, callers and texters can choose to be routed to their selected service using a masked phone number by using "Click to Call" and "Click to Text" buttons. #4Help also collects objective data about hotlines to whom we route users and we collect user feedback about services. We are collecting this data so that within a couple of years, we should have useful statistics about many services to share with the public. Services can claim their pages and update them by adding additional information, logos, videos, company brochures, etc. We built #4Help for many reasons, primarily to be a helpful tool to everyone searching for the best hotline that matches their needs. Secondarily, since there are no government regulations covering the hotline industry, we hope to share collected data which may be instrumental in taking steps forward towards self regulation. HelpUnited was built to help the hotline industry to develop self oversight. We are inviting past and and present hotline volunteers to join HelpUnited to collaborate in the creation of best practices, that can be recommended to hotline executives. Focusing on hotline budgets by working on not recreating the wheel as new and existing hotlines expand their technologies is critical. HelpUnited is the outreach arm of #4Help, through initiatives such as National Hotline Volunteers Month, we make people aware of #4Help services, while creating opportunities to honor the work of hotline volunteers. read more
