Not sure what to say when you call?

That's okay. You don't need to have the right words. The person on the other end is trained to help you find them. If it helps, you can start with something simple:

"I'm not doing okay and I need to talk to someone. I don't really know where to start, but I needed to reach out."

That's enough. Just making the call is enough.

Armali is here too.

We're not a crisis service β€” but we are a warm, real, human presence for when you're ready to talk. If you're not in immediate danger but you're struggling, reach out to us and we'll show up for you.
