Peer Support & Alternatives to Traditional Crisis Lines
Not every difficult moment requires emergency intervention.
Some people may prefer to speak with a peer or someone with lived experience who can listen
without approaching the conversation as a clinical assessment.
The services below have different approaches, hours, and policies.
If avoiding police or emergency-service involvement is important to you,
I encourage you to review the individual service's current policies before reaching out.
