The HELP Line is a free, anonymous, and confidential hotline serving UVA students and Charlottesville community members, supervised by Madison House.

When you call the HELP Line at (434) 924-TALK, you will be connected with a trained UVA student who will listen to you without judgment. However, they are not professionals and might refer you to long-term services that are not anonymous and/or confidential. 

Since it is run by UVA students, the HELP Line is only operational during the academic year.
