NAMI New Hampshire operates a free peer support warmline staffed by trained individuals with personal lived experience of mental illness. The warmline offers non-crisis emotional support, connection, and referrals for people experiencing emotional distress, loneliness, or mental health challenges who are not in immediate crisis. Callers are never alone — the line provides compassionate listening and knowledge of NH resources. Distinct from a crisis hotline: for non-emergency peer connection.
Statewide network of recovery community organizations in NH providing peer recovery support coaches, recovery community centers, NARCAN distribution, warm handoffs from ERs, and community recovery events. Connects people in recovery with peers who have lived experience.
