Michigan Provides Warmline For Those With Mental Health Needs

Michigan’s Department of Health and Human Services has launched a warmline, for Michiganders with mental health needs during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A warmline differs from a hotline in that it deals with a mental health crisis, before it heats up.

Warmlines are aimed at providing emotional support, before a crisis escalates to a 911 call or trip to the emergency room.

The warmline will connect individuals seeking help, with certified peer support specialists.

The warmline is manned daily from 10 am until 2am.

If you’re in genuine crisis, you’re urged to contact the Disaster Distress Hotline.
