Sex Worker Community Support Line
The community support line (CSL) is a centralized toll-free hotline that can be accessed by anyone in North America for assistance with safety planning, networking and accessing resources. We receive more than 200 calls a week seeking assistance with a wide variety of issues from crisis support around and assault or an arrest, to sex positive resources for medical and mental health resources to housing and transportation requests. We created the Chat for Support feature on our website in March of 2020.Since 2015, the SWCSL has grown from less than 25 calls a week to more than 200. We have provided services and support to individuals and organizations who are seeking to assist members of our community in crisis, assisted in providing crisis counseling, gap housing and transportation for victims of crime and assistance to people who have been released from jail or prison. We are committed to creating an outlet for the provision of hard resources that are sex work supportive, trauma informed and client centric in their application in local communities throughout the USA.
