Warmlines for Disabled People
I am not shocked that there are not warm lines for disabled people. But everytime i have to reach for one, and there isn't one. It makes me angry, and sad
For those not in the know a warm line, is a mental health resource, that with trained people that doesn't attempt to do rescues. Usually with call takers that have training/experience in the issues faced by a particular group. It's not 988. They will attempt rescue. They will transfer you into 988 and attempt to facilatate the best intervention, if your that bad
There is sort of an informal system, run through the Mastodon social network. and certain discord servers., But the election swamped it. And many of the best people on it, were occupied with there own crisis.
And how useful is that, If you have to utilize hard tech in a bad mental state.
I've been wondering where my activism needs to go in these times, this might be it
