The BeWellLine offers no-cost emotional counseling to anyone experiencing distress or a need to speak with a counselor about challenging emotional experience they might be facing. This service is funded by CALHope, a state of CA initiative to address mental health impacts. The BeWellLine is not a crisis response line, but instead offers anyone access to emotional support and counseling in less intense circumstances.
