FriendLine is for the quieter kind of pain — loneliness, isolation, or just not having anyone to talk to today. It's not crisis support; it's the conversation you'd have with a friend if a friend was available.

• A trained volunteer who's there to chat, not to fix anything.
• Anonymous and confidential.
• Phone and webchat available most days.
• Calls can be about anything — the weather, your week, what you had for lunch.

Questions people often ask

• Loneliness isn't a character flaw — it's a signal, like hunger.
• One short conversation a day, even a small one, makes a measurable difference.
• If leaving the house is hard right now, the webchat option means you don't have to.
