I was at the doctor’s office the other day when I saw a card for the OC WarmLine.
Sponsored by the National Alliance of Mental Illness-Orange County, the WarmLine is staffed by “warm, friendly voices” who can provide help with substance abuse or mental health concerns (including depression), provide referrals for mental health services, and (this is the best part) just listen and talk to the person who is lonely and confused.
The service is only available to Orange County, California residents.
The numbers are:
714-991-6412
877-910-9276
Learn more (or live chat with a trained operator) at their website: www.namioc.org
Remember: if you or someone you love is suicidal, call 911.
