24 Hour Counselor Help

I was really excited that I found the perfect resource for our teens to use when they needed to talk with someone and they could not reach one of our adult leaders. It’s a 24 Hour Counselor that’s available, well… 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

Wrong.

It’s a page of articles put out by lifeway where teens can click a link and read something posted by a counselor on that related topic. I’m sorry but this is just a horrible idea for the teen who has a gun in his mouth because he no longer wants to live. To me this type of 24 hour help says “I really don’t care.”
