Strength.
What looks fragile often has hidden strength. A spider’s web is five times stronger than steel but is easily broken by brutality.
Human will is much the same …
Each of us has basic human needs: To be loved, feel safe, have the freedom to express our thoughts and emotions, and to care for others.
We Are Here to Help

Sexual Assault
If you have been sexually assaulted, do not bathe, shower, change clothes, eat, drink, use mouthwash or brush your teeth, and if possible, do not use the restroom. Doing so could destroy or damage valuable evidence. If you or someone close to you is raped, sexually assaulted, stalked, or experiencing sexual harassment, the HELPline Rape Response program offers support, information, assistance in seeking victims compensation, and a place to express the hurt, fear, and betrayal that sexual abuse causes to the victim.

Dialing 2-1-1 connects you to a trained operator 24/7 that has access to a comprehensive database with a multitude of services in your community. By its design, the 2-1-1 system is ideally suited for serving as the initial contact point for any variety of programs. 2-1-1 is designed to assist families from all walks of life, but most importantly benefits our most vulnerable populations such as the elderly, people with disabilities, and low-income by facilitating access to public services.
2-1-1 connects community members to information about critical health and human services available in their community through an easy to remember telephone number and through an online resource database. 2-1-1 also provides incident specific information during times of disaster, including road closures and shelters. 2-1-1 services (both phone and online searches) are available 24 hours a day/7 days a week.
In 1999 Hope Place and HELPline, two organizations committed to serving people in crisis, came together to do more and do it better as Crisis Services of North Alabama. Our mission then is the same today, “Responding to individuals and families in crisis."
You do not need to face this alone. We are here to walk beside you because you are worthy of love and care!
