470 Peer Support Warm Line
Executive Summary
The Illinois Peer Support Warm Line (PSWL) program will operate a free, confidential, peer-staffed phone support line for individuals located in Illinois who need emotional support to prevent a potential crisis or to support their wellness between or in lieu of formal treatment services. This program seeks to increase access to peer-based support for Illinoisians as an evidence-based practice and as a mechanism to address gaps in behavioral health service access due to the behavioral health workforce shortage.
