JA, Sparkly & anyone else who is interested: At the end of this post, I posted 2 links that talk about the hotline.
It is called Regesh, it is anonymous, and the number is: (732) 367-7700.
You don’t have to have a serious problem to call, so she might not be offended if you suggest that she calls as long as you are very careful how you say it. I would also make sure that I brought it up at an appropriate moment in a conversation. For example when she is complaining about something, you can suggest that she call. Or maybe just casually mention that you heard about this great hotline for teens and that you were thinking of calling for advice. IF you do it that way, she won’t feel like a nebach case!
Actually, the best idea would probably be for you to call up and ask them for advice regarding how to help her or how to get her to call. In addition to the fact that they may be able to advise you, you can then casually mention to her that you recently called this hotline for advice and they were really helpful!
It also might be helpful for you to have someone to talk to if you are planning on continuing to try to help her.
Kol Hakavod for caring so much about your friend! It should be with hatzlacha!
Sorry, took out the links
