New Mexico Crisis and Access Line

Crisis Line: 1-855-NMCRISIS (1-855-662-7474)

Peer to Peer Warmline: 1-855-4NM-7100 (1-855-466-7100)

The New Mexico Crisis and Access Line (NMCAL) is a statewide mental health crisis line and peer support warmline for anyone who resides in the State of New Mexico.

NMCAL is a centralized, single telephone number. The crisis line is answered by professional counselors 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The warmline is answered 7 days a week, 365 days a year, from 3:30pm - 11:30pm.

Staff are trained in assessing a crisis and responding with the least restrictive alternative, have access to public emergency response workers if needed, and refer callers to resources local to them to allow them to continue theor care beyond the call.

Sometimes it's hard to talk about certain problems with family and friends. As trained peer counselors, our volunteers are ready to provide compassionate and unbiased listening for anything you want to discuss. We won't tell you how to solve your problem, but we'll help you figure out what options you might have. Many people call us when they are experiencing a crisis such as suicidal thoughts, grief, domestic violence, depression and many other serious issues. You don't have to be in crisis to call though - we want to help you deal with stress and navigate the difficult times we all experience from day to day. People of all ages use our services and are welcome to call us any time.

When you call our help-line, we won't ask your name - only your zip code and a few other anonymous questions which help us secure funding. Our service is confidential and offered free of charge. We have many callers who need help, so if you don't get through at first it is because our volunteers are already on calls. Please know that we want to talk with you, so call back or leave us a message so we can call you.
