phone workers are volunteers who do not claim to be able to "solve” every problem nor to "answer" every question. They are not attempting to take the place of any professional person or commurtity service agency They recognize their limitations and offer something unique. What’s offered is friendship by telephone 24 hours a day. The anonymous telephone worker's response is personcentered in accordance with the expressed needs of the callers.
