By ELIZABETH STEWART Womans Editor What do you say when a per son calls and tells you she is about to take her life? Roger Sample cannot an swer that question yet he and many Hot Line volunteers have been doing just that since Dec. 6,1973 when the {rogram became an active “sounding board” of CODAP, Cleveland Organization Drug Abuse Pre vention.” The answering service, available countywide 24 hours a day, averages two calls per day in a 16-hour period. Volun teers are badly needed, and Sample, CODAP’s drug education co-ordinator and a former psychiatric social worker, said he’d like to recruit some male volunteers. The telephone service is pri marily a listening and referral service. “We listen to their problems and tell them where help is available,” said Sample in an address before the KM Rotary Club Thursday. “We may re fer them”, he said, “to a psychiatrist or to an agency that can provide the help they need.” To a question. Sample said that CODAP conducts a train ing program for all volun teers. He said it is a very gratify ing experience to help others “solve their own problems.” “We keep our cool and re fuse to be a crutch”, ex plained Sample. “If they do not seek help after we recom mend it, we become very firm with them.” All calls are recorded, he said, and volun teers compare records and be come aware of repeated calls. This also provides additional insight to problems. The Hot Line number is 482- 8305. Sample estimates that sui cide calls head the list of Hot Line callers and cited marital problems as the major causes with 1/4 to 1-3 of the problems attributed to the use of drugs or alcohol. To a question, Mr. Sample said that kids are more sophisticated about drugs to day and, although misin formed, “know more about drugs than their elders.” CO DAP emphasizes “Af fective Education”, he said, citing why people use drugs, doesn’t preach “Values” but tries to help young people make their own decisions, giving them alternatives to the drug approach. “Get high on life”, CODAP encourages young peojfle in Classroom programs be ginning with fifth grades in the school systems of the county. “Rap” sessions in the schools, a drug education curriculum, and a special course in “Peer Counseling” during the coming school terms wilftrain high school students to counsel problem High School and Junior High students. CODAP was organized four years ago and operated initially for 18 months as a committee, subsequently en larged to a board of directors of 12 Cleveland County citi zens and applied for and re ceived a federal grant in July 1973, hired a secretary, Carolyn Quinn, Director George Newman and Coor dinator Sample in October that year. CODAP has apfiied for a treatment program grant, saidSample, and if obtained, a Cleveland County Crisis House for Youth will be operated similarly to Gaston’s Horizon House. CODAP will conduct parent counseling programs twice a week in the fall in Kings Mountain. Already underway is a class called “Positive Parenting”, a nationally- proven program in parent counseling, at CODAP offices, 402^/2 S. Lafayette St., Shelby, on the second floor of the automobile license tag build ing. A workshop on counseling for clergymen is also planned. To a question.
