Resources like the California Peer-Run Warm Line are so important for anyone in California seeking mental and emotional Support. Operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, the Warm Line is a phone-and text-based service. It’s open to all 39.5 million residents in California. And best of all, it’s 100% free of charge.

Californians have been flocking to the resource because it is a pivotal tool for folks coping with the difficulties of life. Some concerns callers share are challenges with interpersonal relationships, anxiety, pain, depression, finances, alcohol/drug use, etc. Participants learn how the service developed, employment opportunities, and how peers can become valuable members of the workforce.
