Hawaii HB112 appropriates funds to establish a statewide mental health warm line for non-emergency support.
Hawaii HB112 allocates funds to the Department of Health to create and operate a statewide mental health warm line. This service provides confidential, free telephone support for individuals experiencing psychological distress but not in immediate danger. Unlike crisis lines, the warm line is intended for those who need someone to talk to but do not require immediate professional intervention. The funding will cover equipment, training, and operational expenses for the service, which will be separate from the existing Hawai'i CARES 988 crisis line.
