These so -called “warm lines” Help people during the Nonweoffering emotional support and mental health resources. Parent anonymous help lines, which serves about 24,000 people a year and is approved by first partner Jennifer Sibel Newo, has already fired staff. The organization demanded $ 3 million a year from the country, but budget governor Gavin Newpom and legislators got out last week, did not include funding.
Pomona resident Antonia Rios said she was associated with the help line as much as seven times a week. Rios is a mother of seven years and lives with anxiety, depression and other suffering for mental health. For RIE, “breaks my heart that they want to cut off” the help line.
- Rios: “The help line was a safe haven for me. It saved my life many cases.”
In Orange County, the warm line for the National Mental District Alliance 900 calls a day, according to its CEO Amy Durham. The organization is now preparing to release 127 employees, many of whom used the warm line themselves and later became peers advisers.
- Durm: “We will now wait until everyone is in crisis. I can’t imagine being profitable or humane.”
