Non-Crisis Resource

In light of our fearless leader adding crisis resources to our dear website, I wanted to throw out a non-crisis resource as well — warmlines.

Similar to hotlines, a warmline is a number you can call when you just to need to talk to someone with no emergency undertones. Feeling lonely? Maybe mildly anxious? Try calling a warmline to hear a friendly voice.

This is not the same as 988. This is not the same as 911. This is similar to calling an acquaintance and sharing some small talk. Please do not try to utilize this resource if you are experiencing some type of emergency. These lines are often busy, and you may have to wait a bit for an answer.

This NAMI page can help you find a warmline you can utilize. Most are state-based. Some accept out-of-state calls. https://helplinefaqs.nami.org/article/577-nami-national-warmline-directory

You matter. Be safe. 💖
