”A peer support line (sometimes referred to as a ‘warmline’) is a private phone line that you can call to get support, ask about resources, connect with another person who can relate or has ‘been there’, or just talk. Our peer support line is answered by a trained peer supporter who has their own first-hand experience with psychiatric diagnosis, trauma, addiction, and/or other interrupting challenges. This line does not collect personal information, perform assessment, or call crisis or the police.”

I want to acknowledge that as a therapist working under a professional license given to me by a professional licensing board, I am a representative of a system of oppression within the medical industrial complex.
This means working with a licensed professional of any kind has limitations. I.E. Mandated Reporting and the western pathologizing medical model of Diagnosis.
I consider myself a Forced Care Abolitionist. Due to overwhelming scientific evidence that forced psychiatric hospitalization tends to lead to increased suicidal ideation and overall worse health outcomes. I prioritize building resources using Care Pod Mapping in order to leave carceral systems out of the crisis mangement process.
With all of that being said, it remains essential to find resource outside of systems of oppression where you can get a different level of support that I cannot provide.
