Toll Free Hotlines Around the World
[info]joey_alc has just given me an idea... If you're aware of any toll free hotlines in your country which act as free counselling services, sexual health assistance, relationship assistance or sex education... could you please share them with us? I'll be trying to do some searches for them & will try to verify as many as possible, but your help with this would also be appreciated.

If you know of any, just leave a comment on this post with the name of country it's valid in, the phone number, and the name of the service.


I'll then file this in the memories under "Sex Ed Resources" for everyone to use as needed.


Thanks,

xo M.

Also in the U.S. here is a huge list of helpful toll free hotlines, some of which are related to STDs, AIDS, pregnancies, and general emotional crises.

I haven't verified these, but I figure that UCLA wouldn't post them without checking on them.
