These are some important phone numbers you should know. Most (if not all) are free to call, and they can really provide some support in the time of a crisis.
LAMBDA
Amanda Dier
954-854-3790
for anything on/off campus, if you know anything you think we should know, etc.
(Note: If you have one of the pens we hand out in the Breezeway, the number doesn't work (as we're sure you've already found out). We're working on getting it to connect to a phone somewhere, or even a voicemail box, but so far no dice.)

(This is Lambda's official recommended shelter. Yes, they are a Christian organization and may give you Jesus with your orange juice, but they will not turn you away because you are GLBTQQI. They provide a number of services, including counseling, case management, family counseling, health services at the shelter clinic, pregnancy and HIV testing, substance abuse treatment, GED classes, employment assistance, independent living skills classes, transportation assistance, and transitional housing for older adolescents bridging into independant living.)
