Unfortunately for some the holiday season isn’t always a joyful time of the year.  If you or anyone you know is depressed, having suicidal thoughts or just needs to talk to somebody, know that help is there.  The national suicide prevention hotline and the Lane County crisis hotline are available 24/7.  For help, call 1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-273-TALK) or (541) 687-4000
 
Help those within your area served by Senior and Disabled Services of Lane County.  For a list of their volunteer opportunities, please visit http://www.sdslane.org/volunteer.html or call (541) 682-4374.
