Family Helpline

Parents Inc. provides a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week Family Helpline for parents, grandparents, teens, professionals, and children to call or text to access information and referrals to community agencies in their area, and a safe, non-judgmental place to talk about family issues.  This line is answered by a trained, compassionate listener.  The purpose of the Family Helpline is to provide help, hope, and support to NJ families.  This line serves as both intervention and prevention measures.  Voiance, a language interpreter service helps us address the needs of non-English callers.

The Parents Inc. Family Helpline 1-800-THE-KIDS (1-800-843-5437) is staffed by mostly volunteers who graciously give their time to be available to parents who need to talk.  Volunteers receive experiential training and continuing education provided by Parents Inc. staff.  There are two requirements for the job of a Family Helpline Volunteer - a willingness to help children by assisting parents and a caring nature.
