Anonymous and Confidential
The Spark is a safe space where people can speak honestly and expect to be treated with compassion, respect, and dignity. Callers are not asked to share identifying information and conversations are held in confidentiality. If a caller does provide identifying information and discloses a crime, the responder will follow legal reporting requirements.
In a 2022 needs assessment:
- 82% of surveyed NEK Human Service Providers stated their interest in a warmline
- 58% of surveyed NEK community members stated their interest in a warmline
Why a Warmline?
- To address the rural nature of the NEK - sometimes people need support and can not get to an office or a group, etc.
- To address the reality that law enforcement and the criminal justice system are not always safe options for people who have or are causing harm but who still need support
