We do not record calls or phone

In a 2022 needs assessment:
- 82% of surveyed NEK Human Service Providers stated their interest in a warmline
- 58% of surveyed NEK community members stated their interest in a warmline
Why a Warmline?
- To address the rural nature of the NEK - sometimes people need support and can not get to an office or a group, etc.
- To address the reality that law enforcement and the criminal justice system are not always safe options for people who have or are causing harm but who still need support
