2-1-1 Infoline
Description
2-1-1 is an integrated system of help via the telephone - a single source for information about community services, referrals to human services, and crisis intervention. It is accessed toll-free from anywhere in Connecticut by simply dialing 2-1-1. It operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Multilingual call specialists and TDD access is available.
2-1-1 was created in 1976 as a public/private partnership of United Way and the State of Connecticut. By the mid-eighties, it had gained national recognition as a model system. In 1995, 2-1-1 was certified in crisis intervention by the American Association of Suicidology.
In 1998, the Governor and Legislature supported the initiative for an easy-to-remember, three-digit 2-1-1 number for health and human services resources. The number went into effect in March 1999, replacing 1-800-203-1234. Though there are numerous information and referral services throughout the country, Connecticut is the first state in the nation to use 2-1-1 statewide.
