Warmlines are an alternative to crisis lines if you’re not in an immediate crisis but still want to talk to someone and receive emotional support. They’re usually free and confidential and are staffed by peers who have dealt with mental health issues themselves. Most warmlines were designed to be state-specific or local, though some accept out-of-state calls and cover a national service area.
