WholeLine
You don't have to face this alone. WholeLine is a free, confidential helpline staffed by trained volunteers, ready to listen and help you figure out what to do next.
Available
Monday to Saturday, 8am to 8pm
WholeLine offers free, confidential emotional support and referrals. It is not an emergency medical service. If you or someone else is in immediate physical danger, please contact your local emergency services first.
More Than Just a Phone Line
A trained volunteer who listens without judgment, whether you need to talk through a bad day or something much harder.
Help working out what kind of support fits your situation, and where to find it, whether that is WholeMind or elsewhere.
Call if you want to talk out loud. Text or WhatsApp if speaking feels like too much right now. Both are answered with the same care.
Reaching Out, Step by Step
You stay in control of the conversation the whole way through.
Trained Volunteers
WholeLine is currently staffed by five trained volunteer responders, supported by Dr. Elizabeth Falade, WholeMind's Founder and Lead Psychiatrist. Each volunteer is trained to listen, support, and refer where needed.
What you share with WholeLine is kept private. The only exception is if a volunteer believes someone's life is in immediate danger, in which case getting help to that person comes first.
WholeLine, Telepsychiatry, or Emergency Services
Here is a simple way to think about which one fits right now.
If you need someone to talk to right now, feel overwhelmed, or do not know where to start.
If you want an ongoing diagnosis and treatment plan with a psychiatrist, on a schedule that works for you.
If you or someone else is in immediate physical danger right now. This comes before anything else.
