The Barb 12 Atlanta Gets Gay Help Line There’s something new in town and now is the time to get involved. Training is going on now for the Gay Help Line, an informational and crisis intervention telephone service that we hope can begin operation on a limi ted basis during the first week of August. At first hours will be 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. seven days a week. The line extends its hours to 4 a.m. on Friday and Saturday ni ghts. We will be providing a telephone crisis inter vention and counseling service similar to that provided by the Commu nity Crisis Center, but oriented toward gay people. The staff of the Gay Help Line will have; counselors trained by the Community Crisis Center in telephone crisis inter vention and problems-i solving-oriented counse- 1 ling. We have an ex- 1 tensive library of infor mation on gay activities and meeting places in the Atlanta area, and we can also give you a feeling about the atmosphere and the dangers in these va rious places.

The staff of the Gay Help Line hopes to ex pand its activities to be come a complete Gay Community Services Center. We envision a building where gay people can drop in and rap 24 hours a day, and where we can have a large va riety of social activities such as dances, parties, rap groups about various gay-related topics, and whatever else people want to do.
