the human line

the mission

the goal is to release ‘the human line’ which will be a free and anonymous phone line that anyone can call to talk with a real person about whatever is on their mind. whether it’s “i’ve been having a hard time”, or “i can’t stop thinking about this thing” or even “i don’t know what it is” and the other person simply listening or giving advice, if that’s wanted instead. 

the line is meant for everyday conversation, the kind people used to have with each without needed a reason, and when someone needs more than that (such as a mental health emergency) they will be pointed towards people who are trained to help. 

the money from the sales of the journal go towards getting the line started and keeping it running
