SOUTHERN TIER, N.Y. (WETM) – The 211 Helpline of the Finger Lakes Region has launched a new automated text program for those in the Southern Tier region who struggle with substance use disorder and are seeking help to recover.

Over $171K awarded to Southern Tier programs supporting senior citizens

GetHelpNY is a free and confidential text line that is available to anyone in Steuben, Chemung, Schuyler, Yates, Seneca, Ontario, Wayne, Livingston and Monroe counties who is struggling with substance use and needs support.

It’s open to all ages and gives users the freedom to remain anonymous until they are ready to seek help from community services.

All you have to do is text “GetHelpNY” to 898-211 to start receiving help. The service is available 24/7 to provide support at any time.

This program comes from the Institute for Human Services, Inc. which works in partnership with the 211 Finger Lakes Region.

AI models have favorite numbers, because they think they're people
AI models are always surprising us, not just in what they can do, but what they can't, and why. An interesting new behavior is both superficial and revealing about these systems: they pick random numbers as if they're human beings, which is to say, badly.
