Washington Mental Health Hotline
Free, confidential support for Washington residents — available 24/7.
⚠ Safety Notice
If you or someone you love is in immediate danger, call 911.
If you’re having thoughts of suicide or are in emotional crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
The Mental Health Hotline offers support and resources. It is not a substitute for emergency services.
Roughly 1.63 million Washington adults live with a mental health condition, about seven times the population of Tacoma, and 388,000 live with a serious mental illness.
Getting help is harder than it should be. More than 3.3 million people in the state live in a community without enough mental health professionals, and a Washingtonian is seven times more likely to be pushed out of network for mental health care than for primary care. Cost and coverage are the reasons people most often give for going without.
Washington has built out an unusually broad set of free lines to close that gap, including services for teenagers, for Native communities and for people in recovery. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety or something else, the resources below are free to contact and open to all Washington residents.
