Hotlines That Avoid Police
These hotlines and warmlines can provide alternatives to police intervention and avoid using police in most cases. It’s always good to ask all hotlines and warmlines about their policies before disclosing information that could lead to an involuntary intervention or forced hospitalization. Some utilize other first responders, such as mobile crisis units with mental health professionals, who are mandated reporters and can administer psychiatric assessments that may trigger forced hospitalization.
