GSS Forms Peer Counseling Hotline

[Administrator]

March 1, 1979 was the start of Orlando's gay peer counseling hotline.  It initially started taking calls 4 nights per week, but quickly expanded to 7 nights a week.  Calls were received by an answering service, and returned by volunteers each night between 8 pm and Midnight.  Nancie Wilson, Pete Fisher, and Dr. Bob Bolletter trained the first 20 volunteers.
