The SafeSpot Helpline is a toll-free number that provides counselling to children and adolescents needing assistance with their mental, emotional, and social well-being.  According to the Office of the Children’s Advocate, many Jamaican children need this kind of support and dozens of them are accessing the service. “The overwhelming number of children who reached out to us leave with their issue resolved,” declared Children's Advocate Diahann Gordon Harrison.SafeSpot Helpline (888-723-3776) is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and is staffed by intake officers, counsellors, and counselling psychologists. “It works. It’s confidential. It’s free. It’s supported by trained individuals,” emphasised Gordon Harrison.In this episode of Impacting Jamaica, the Children's Advocate talks with host Keisha Hill about the work of SafeSpot and she urges all to spread the word about this important service available to Jamaican children up to 17 years old.
