I don't think people really realize all the free information they have at their access!
I often found myself explaining how simple it is to call up the National Domestic Violence Hotline in order to find local services... for anyone/anywhere. The same can be said for Sexual Assault, Drug Rehab, and even Dentists. Such services are especially helpful to the local agencies themselves... both in lightening the load when it comes to transferring a client or outside the area calls, and in getting people directed to them (especially for more private matters that folks don't want to talk to just anyone about!)
With an anonymous hotline to call, you don't have to be spreading your business about frivolously, especially in small towns, to find and receive the services you need! You can call a centralized information center that can guide you to who & where might best suit your specific situation!
