______________________
WHY THIS PAGE EXISTS
Informed consent applies to crisis support too
Systems marketed as help have not been safe or neutral for everyone. Knowing what you are calling before you call it is a form of bodily autonomy.
____________________________________________
Who is on the other end
A peer with lived experience, or a clinician working inside a risk-assessment framework.
____________________________________________
What they can do
What they are trained and authorized to do, and what they are required to report.
____________________________________________
What could follow
Whether your call can bring third parties, including police, into your home.

WARM LINE VS CRISIS LINE
________
What is a warm line?
A peer support line. The people answering have their own lived experience with mental health challenges, distress, or marginalization.
Warm lines are not emergency services. They are not designed to assess, diagnose, or intervene. They exist to offer connection, not correction.
Call one when you are overwhelmed, anxious, or isolated but not in immediate danger; when you need someone who gets it without fear of consequences; when you want peer support outside clinical spaces; or when it is just a hard night.
Confidential. Non-clinical. Peer-led.
________
What is a crisis line?
A clinical or quasi-clinical service staffed by trained counselors equipped to respond to acute emergencies. Crisis lines follow mandatory reporting protocols and risk-assessment frameworks.
That means they may involve third parties without your consent, including emergency services, up to and including police involvement.
For Black, Indigenous, and people of color; unhoused people; people with histories of incarceration; undocumented people; and trans and nonbinary people, a police response does not equal safety.
This is not a reason to never call a crisis line. It is a reason to know what you are calling before you call it.

HEALING JUSTICE
Trusting you with the whole picture
The idea that calling emergency services is always the right answer comes from a model that centers risk management over relationship.
____________________________________________
Choice is care
Knowing the difference between a warm line and a crisis line is a form of bodily autonomy.
____________________________________________
On whose terms
You get to choose, as much as possible, what kind of support enters your life.
____________________________________________
Not discouragement
This isn’t talking you out of reaching out. It’s trusting you with full information.
