What is a Warmline?
The Peer Support Connection Warmline is a free, confidential support line where you can talk one-on-one with someone who understands.
When you call, you’ll be connected with a trained peer specialist who has lived experience with mental health and substance use challenges. Conversations are supportive, respectful, and focused on listening.
Many people reach out because they need someone to talk to, want to feel less alone, or are looking for connection with someone who has had similar life experiences.
Warmlines are different from crisis lines. The Warmline is designed for individuals who are not currently in crisis, and would benefit from supportive conversation and connection.
All Warmline staff bring lived experience, which allows for empathy, understanding, and genuine connection.
