HelpLink™
211 ’s Database
HelpLink’s
comprehensive resource database contains information used to make
the referrals to all health and human services in Greene, Montgomery
and Preble counties. The information in the resource database
lists each distinct service provided by an organization. For each
of these we list fees, eligibility information, area served, hours
of operation, program description and service sites. Agency information
and programs are updated on a daily basis with changes provided
to HelpLink by the agency. This ensures that the caller receives
the most current and accurate information.
The
large, computerized database along with the skilled professional
staff available 24 hours a day enable HelpLink™ to provide additional
"linking" services to the community. Those additional
services are:
After-hours
Answering Service
HelpLink
provides an after-hours answering service to other human service
providers. This service helps agencies respond to their client’s
needs while cutting down on personnel costs. Agency phones are forwarded
to HelpLink and answered by skilled staff. Messages can be forwarded
to on-call supervisors or passed along the next business day.
Specialized
Lists and Mailing Labels

you need information on agencies serving youth, senior services,
etc. in your county or local area? Do you need a lists and/or
mailing labels for the area’s non-profits? HelpLink can provide

Reports
and Statistics
Reports
about the health and human needs throughout the community based
on the needs expressed by HelpLink™ callers are shared with funders
and planners to help shape how service dollars are used and what
services are needed.
Advocacy
HelpLink
links people to people and helps assure that clients get the services
they need. This role also links the data we collect about human
service needs in the community with service providers so they can
better address those needs.
Directory
of Community Services
For
individuals and agencies, who provide services to those individuals/families
in need, HelpLink publishes a Directory of Community Services
. This directory is a compilation of local and national agencies
and the services they provide. At this time we are updating a
new version of Directory of Community Services . The directory
should be available for purchase by August 2003. Check our website
for updated information on our directory. If you’re interested

We
Need Your
Input!!
Currently
we are updating our Directory of Community Services for
publication later this year. At this time, HelpLink is determining
which media of our directory would best serve those who provide
services to those individuals/families in need.
