** Note**

A Note About Using Hotlines and Warmlines:
Be mindful that internet activity and cell phone logs can be monitored, making it difficult to completely hide usage information. If privacy is a concern and the resource offers both chat and phone support, it’s often safer to call instead of using online chat.

A Note About Confidentiality:
While many resources claim their services are confidential and that they only involve law enforcement or other agencies at your request, it’s essential to confirm this directly. Ask the staff member or review the resource’s website for details about their specific confidentiality policies.
