Survivor Stories

Have you called a crisis hotline and experienced harm from an intervention that happened because of that call? You’re not alone. Many people have survived harm from interventions on crisis calls from police, emergency rooms, psych hospitals, jails, and more.

Survivors are the experts on what support is actually helpful during mental health crises, and survivors guide this campaign. Join us by sharing your lived experience and expertise to build #SafeHotlines for all, and select opportunities you’re interested in contributing to.
