This line serves as a direct access point for individuals seeking outreach materials, referrals, crisis intervention, and support with immediate needs. The annual total far exceeded the contracted goal of 120 engagements.monthly call volume increased steadily throughout the year, with early months ranging from 14 to 27 contacts, then spiking to 231 in june. High call volumes continued through the second half of the year, with 61 to 189 individuals served per month between july and december.this trend reflects both increased public awareness of ops's helpline services and rising demand for urgent, trauma-informed support.
