\nI\u2019m talking about the SMOHIT helpline. I\u2019m the trained counselor who responds to those calls.
\nSo what exactly happens when you call 877-884-6227, and what sort of things does it cover?
\nThe short answer is this: just about anything that gets in the way of you being your best self.
\nBelow are some issues\u2014not all, since problems can be unique to each person. But I hope it helps you decide whether or not to reach out.
\nMaking that first call<\/strong>
\nFor each call, I primarily will do a phone assessment to see if I can help right in that call, or that you need a referral to someone in your area who you can meet face to face.
\nSometimes people just don\u2019t know where to turn, and I may be able to help. When appropriate, I can arrange phone sessions, over time, to help someone through a crisis. Healing takes time, and I am available through that.
\nRemember, these may not be the only issues, but if you are hurting, suffering, please give it a try and make that first call.<\/p>\n\n
\nThe Helpline began in 2017 to respond after the hurricanes, fires, floods and mass shootings that year. SMOHIT expanded its scope to all members and their families in the U.S. and Canada, because anyone in the SMART family might need help with those difficult problems of life.
\nSMART MAP trains peers to provide information, including sources of treatment. for drug and alcohol abuse and related symptoms. I have had the good fortune to attend some SMART MAP meetings and know that my work dovetails nicely with what the peers are doing.
\nTogether, MAP and the Helpline have you covered. SMART MAP peers are on the ground in the Locals\u2014trained members who are looking out to help those in need\u2014and I am here via the Helpline to fill in any gaps. I also consult with MAP peers when they need some of my expertise.
\nRemember, no problem is too big or small, so give me a call any time. I\u2019m Daria, at 877-884-6227, 24\/7\/365.
