“A call to an NA phoneline, also known as a helpline, may be someone’s first interaction with Narcotics Anonymous. These calls are vital; a phoneline call can make a major difference in whether or not an addict makes it to an NA meeting. We need to respond to callers in a way that makes them feel like they matter. We can encourage volunteers to bring their experience and their public relations awareness to this important service opportunity.”
