Reminder of NARSOL’s helpline open on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day

For everyone who may be feeling more lonely and depressed as Christmas draws nearer, NARSOL wishes to remind you of our fully staffed helpline opening at 7 a.m. eastern time on Christmas Eve. The volunteers who will be manning the lines all have intimate knowledge of what being on the registry is like and how difficult holidays can be, and they are happy to “be there” for anyone who needs a listening ear. Here are the details:

The holiday helpline will be open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. eastern time on both December 24 and December 25. Three volunteers will be staffing the phones during almost all of the shifts. The only way your call would not be answered live is if all three of the volunteers for that time period are taking calls. If that should happen, please wait a few minutes and call again.

The number to call is 888-997-7765, extension 2. Be sure to dial the extension, as that is the ONLY one being answered live on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Your phone number will not show up on the volunteers’ caller IDs because your call is being routed through the NARSOL switchboard number.

SAVE this number and extension. Pass it on to other persons affected by public registration. And here’s hoping you have the best holiday ever. If not – NARSOL is here for you.

While NARSOL representatives will be available to act in a supportive or peer-like role and may provide useful and appropriate resources and information to individuals who contact the helpline, NARSOL representatives are comprised of volunteers who ARE NOT licensed legal or clinical professionals and cannot provide legal, medical, or psychiatric advice. NARSOL does not condone and is not responsible for any illicit or illegal behavior.

Thank you so much for all your help and hard work!

So the registry is so oppressive, abusive, and detrimental to the life of those on it that we have to fear for suicide and have suicide prevention and counseling services available to counter the effects of the justice system.

I can’t Thank you enough. It really, really means a lot.

Let’s all raise a glass to being regulated not punished. Alone on Christmas Eve once again. Nothing like vodka and self pity to justify poor decisions… I hope society is much safer now that we are regulated.

Honestly, during the holidays I reflect on my crime, am saddened and remorseful. How do victims of cp deal with the holidays. are they ok or not. I caused pain to children and it hurts me tremendously. It was extremely out of charecter for me which is confusing. County imposed treatment thinks I’m a pedophile end of story. They have a lot to learn too.
