PARENTAL STRESS HELPLINE

A DFS Parental Stress Helpline is available for parents who feel overwhelmed with parental pressures and responsibilities. The Helpline offers on-line crisis counseling to parents and provides referral information about local agencies which may offer additional or more intensive services. The Parental Stress Helpline operates seven days a week, 24 hours a day. The toll-free number is 1-800-367-2543.

Calls to the parental Stress Helpline may be anonymous. However, if information is given that indicates that a child has been or is being abused or neglected and identifying information is provided, the information must be referred to the child abuse and neglect hotline for investigation.
