Biographical/Historical Note
TAP Line began in 1970 as the “Troubles and Problems” telephone hotline for youth in crisis. Originally intended to serve middle school and high school students, TAP Line services eventually expanded to field calls from every age group. Callers discussed a variety of subjects with TAP Line counselors, including drug use, marital and romantic relationship issues, pregnancy, abortion, parental difficulties, and venereal disease, and telephone counselors referred callers to appropriate community agencies. In the late 1970s, TAP Line came under the sponsorship of Luther Hospital and the United Fund Agency. TAP Line was disbanded in 1992, and Luther Hospital took over the hotline as a public service.
