Get Connected UK is the UK’s free support service for under-25s. Young people can contact the helpline in confidence with any problem and a trained volunteer will find them the most appropriate help using a directory of over 10,000 trusted services around the country. Young people can call, email, text or webchat any day of the year, for emotional support to find the help they need to better their lives. There is also an online directory of help available. Get Connected was established in 1999 by a partnership between the Suzy Lamplugh Trust and the British Transport Police, with support from Railway Children. Diana Lamplugh wanted to provide help to young people to young people under 25 who had run away from home or been thrown out. Get Connected’s role was to put these young people in touch, for free, with whatever service they needed. The establishing principle was to empower the young person to make their own decision about the help they need, with the role of Get Connected being that of a gateway for a young person on the street to access any help they might need. Get Connected has developed beyond the initial remit, to help any young person under 25. ==Helpline== Get Connected Helpline provides help via phone, email, SMS or webchat. Whichever means of contact a young person chooses, each contact usually includes three stages: going through the problem, seeing what your options are, and contacting further help. The Helpline Volunteer helps the young person decide what they want to happen next, whether it is to change their situation or simply talk to someone about it. Get Connected gives contact information for the young person’s chosen source of support by phone, text to their mobile, or via email or webchat if they are online. For those young people who have no credit, do not want a phone call to show up on their phone bill or are simply too scared to explain their worries themselves, Get Connected’s Helpline Volunteers may be able to make a one-off connection to another service. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Get Connected UK」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
