Because the line has been down, those in need of the hotline and hopeline should call 988, the National Crisis Hotline.
Butler County MHARS Board Executive Director Scott Rasmus said he and his staff have been working with Beckett Springs Hospital, the hotline provider, and Verizon to get the service restored.
“We know how important this service is to the Butler County community,” he said. “We sincerely apologize to anyone who has been let down by this situation.”
