If you’re in immediate mental distress, you can call or text 988 to reach 988 Lifeline, a hotline that’s also available 24/7 for urgent mental health support.

The NAMI Mental Health Warm Line helps prevent crises before they occur by offering a listening ear, peer support and various resources for those experiencing mental health issues.

California mental health support lines say they're getting more calls than ever. Several are scaling back services and laying off staff because of budget cuts.
