Tools, Info, and Support to Help You Navigate

You don't have to go looking for help alone. Here's a starting point for information, tools, and support that speaks to who you are.

If you need help right now

If you or someone you love is thinking about suicide or in crisis, call or text 988 any time, day or night. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911.

  • Burnout Guides: recognizing burnout before it wins, and recovering without shame
  • Breathing Techniques: simple exercises you can use anywhere, anytime
  • Journal Prompts: for reflection, not performance
  • Grounding Exercises: quick tools to return to the present moment

Warm lines: when you just need someone to talk to

A warm line is a non-emergency line where you can talk with a trained peer when things feel heavy but it isn't a crisis. Hours vary, so check before you call.
