What are Warmlines?

Warmlines are phone, chat, or text lines that provide empathetic listening and peer support to individuals who may be experiencing distress or loneliness, or those seeking validation from a peer with lived experience. They offer a confidential and non-judgmental space for connection and self-directed exploration.

How will a Warmline support me?

Warmlines provide a judgment-free space for you to talk through difficult emotions and experiences, receive support, and connect to other resources that can help you. Research has shown that people feel less distressed and more empowered after contacting warmlines.

How are Warmlines unique?

Unlike traditional crisis lines, warmlines are staffed by peers with personal experience of mental health challenges. They operate on a consensual, non-coercive model — there is no fear of institutionalization. This is especially vital for communities historically impacted by disproportionate use of force.
