THE 24/7 CRISIS LINE IS ANSWERED BY PHONE ADVOCATES WHO ANSWER CALLS OUTSIDE OF THE BUSINESS DAY. IN 2024 THEY ANSWERED 83 CALLS. NORMALLY, THE NUMBER OF CALLS INTO THE CRISIS LINE RANGE FROM 170 TO 270 CALLS PER YEAR. THE PHONE ADVOCATES RECEIVE A SMALL STIPEND WHICH IS LESS THAN FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE, SO THIS PROGRAM IS FUNDED THROUGH A GRANT FROM THE UNITED WAY OF NORTHEASTERN MINNESOTA AND DONATIONS FROM LAKE OF THE WOODS COUNTY AND THE CITY OF INTERNATIONAL FALLS.
