A warm line is an alternative to a crisis line that is run by โpeers,โ generally those who have had their own experiences of trauma that they are willing to speak of and acknowledge.
Unlike a hotline for those in immediate crisis, warmlines provide early intervention with emotional support that can prevent a crisis. The lines are typically free, confidential peer-support services staffed by those who have experienced mental health conditions themselves. If you are outside of the State of Georgia,ย use the link below:
