Help At The End Of The Line
Over the past 20 years, the Boys Town National HotlineSM (1-800-448-3000) has helped more than 8 million teens, parents and families. We’ve heard from callers just how much the Hotline has helped them, giving them hope when their situations seemed hopeless. We invite you to check this site for videos and other helpful resources.
In addition to the tradition hotline, we also offer instant messaging or "online chat" to teens at yourlifeyourvoice.org. This site offers this and other alternative ways for kids to connect since millions sign online every day.
