Help Lines & Support: Mental Health - Southeast Region
Warmlines - Need to talk to someone
Get support when you just need to talk to someone. Speaking to someone on these calls are typically free, confidential, and run by people who understand what it's like to struggle with mental health problems.
Source: Mental Health America (mh
What to know before you call
It's best to call a warmline in your own state. If one doesn't exist or it is busy, you can try a warmline in another state that is close to you and provides national service. Some lines have limits in the amounts of time you can call. Others have unlimited time and do not stop conversations until you are ready.
If you are in crisis
Warmlines are for support and can link you to a crisis hotline if you need support for suicidal thoughts or crisis.
If you are in crisis, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or text MHA to 741741
