The TEENLINE is a teen-to-teen telephone helpline for Pueblo's Youth. TEENLINE offers any teenager who has access to a telephone the opportunity to talk about his/her problem, without risk of public exposure and embarrassment. The calls remain confidential, a 'safe haven' to talk about any concern, ranging from problems with family, friends, relationships, or school issues such as depression, drug/alcohol abuse, peer pressure, rape, pregnancy, eating disorders and suicide. The helpline receives over 1,000 calls a year and has been in operation since 1991.
