Toward a 24/7 Lifeline in 2016 | Join Us
For several years, one of TELL’s most important goals has been taking our Lifeline service 24/7. As you may have observed, we’re not there yet. So what’s the hold-up? Simply, we don’t have enough volunteer telephone counselors yet to bridge the nighttime hours consistently (we won’t move to 24-hour operation until we can consistently cover the overnight shifts).

Unsurprisingly, Your Job Can Affect Your Health
A significant portion of U.S. working adults say that their current job impacts their health, saying they believe their current job affects their overall health, family life, social life, stress level, weight, eating habits, and sleeping habits. Almost half of all working adults give their workplace only fair or poor ratings in its efforts to reduce their stress.

Introducing TELL in Kobe and Kyoto in 2016
Although TELL has been serving the international community for 43 years, until three years ago we were known as Tokyo English Life Line, with an emphasis on Tokyo. Then last year, when we opened a phone room in Kobe, those of us who live in the Tokyo area were surprised to learn that few people in Kansai had heard of TELL. Uh-oh.
