CVAB’S Warm Line
The CVAB Warm Line is based in Vancouver, WA and operates every evening. When you call the Warm Line you are talking to a peer. Peers have their own lived experience with mental health conditions and/or substance use and strive to provide you with support, understanding, and a listening ear.
There are times when you just need to talk to someone, to let off steam, or sort through your day. The Warm Line is not a Crisis Line, but is a resource to utilize before you hit the point of crisis. We listen and offer reassurance that you have been heard and things can get better. We can support you navigate through a rough day or celebrating your accomplishments.
