DIRECT ADVOCACY HOTLINE FOR PPS STUDENTS

The PPS collaboration with Raphael House and VOA Homefree offers direct, free, 100% confidential advocacy for PPS students since 2018. Today, accessing services is easier than ever with our new PPS-only student hotline!

The hotline is available in Spanish/English at any time. When an advocate is unable to answer, the phone tree will offer the ability to leave a message or be connected to a variety of crisis/survivor resources in the community such as Call to Safety and Multnomah County Crisis Line.
