Help for those in need
Since this is another one of my passions, I will include some helpful information here for those looking for services to assist a family member with special needs. There is also a lot of info for other services and resources, as well.
Many cities now have a new social services information number available to them 24/7. All you have to do is dial 211. For more information go to http://www.211.org/ When you call you will be connected to an operator who has an abundance of information on many related subjects such as: Support for Children, Youth and Families, Support for Older Americans and Persons with Disabilities, Physical and Mental Health Resources,medical information lines, crisis intervention services, support groups, counseling, drug and alcohol intervention, rehabilitation, health insurance programs, Medicaid and Medicare, maternal health, children’s health insurance programs and much more.
The service is free to call. Check it out!
