What is a Warmline?
Our Statewide Young Adult Warmline is a phone-based peer support line. Similar to hotlines, staff can connect callers to community resources, hold space, and inspire their peers to live a life of self-defined purpose through sharing their own lived experience. You can reach us at 1-855-6-hopenow or 1-855-646-7366 ☺
Our Operators are available from 12 pm to 9 pm, 7 days a week. We look forward to hearing from you!
