Not running your hotline for the last two weeks of the year is unacceptable. Its probably too late for them to change that decision... So... Yeah I hope more funding is found next year.

Navigating warmlines and crisis hotlines that will not call police on you is pretty difficult and this is already a sector I feel like needs to be expanding right now. Access to mental health services really could get patched up better with the use of warmlines like this one.
