"CONTACT will be the only human contact I will have all day." "You cannot imagine the profound influence you have on callers like me. You've smoothed the broken edges of my soul." "You have the healing power!" "Despite what you hear, only a small percentage of people who are mentally ill commit violent crimes. Most people who have mental illness are peaceful, but they are isolated from others because of the bad press they receive. The main thing is to provide them with love and acceptance." "It's hard to confide in people I know because they judge me. It's easier to talk to strangers. I didn't always make the right decisions." "Why does GOD put you through so many tests?" "Where can you go, what do you do when you have no place to go?" "You don't know how much it means to me to have someone to talk to. The people there are so nice. They don't have their own agendas. When they end the call, they always have something nice to say that carries me through the day!" "I appreciate all the time you have given me today. I am in a black hole." "Sometimes I come home from work and have nobody to talk to. Just talking to you helps me struggle less." "CONTACT is my lifeline. It makes me feel I have some connection to the outside world." "You have made a positive difference in my life today. GOD bless you." "People who have good support systems have healthy immune systems and live longer, so I'm lucky to have CONTACT." "It's nice to hear a pleasant voice." "The holidays are a sad time of year because they are a constant reminder of what I don't have." "Thank you for treating me like a human being." "Everyone needs someone who will listen to them." "Is this a suicide hotline? I am trying to stay alive tonight."
