Thank you for your patience and understanding. Your call is very important to us, and we look forward to connecting with you.
Important Update: Texting Service Temporarily Unavailable
From August 29, 2025 to September 10, 2025, our texting service will be unavailable as we upgrade our technology and transition to a new number.

Whether a regular or first-time caller, the people contacting our NAMI OC WarmLine want comfort and hope, if not absolute clarity about a health crisis that offers little on that front. That soothing voice “and the simple power of listening” has been NAMI OC WarmLine’s mission since 2010. - The OC Register, April 10, 2020

Important Update: WarmLine Service Hours Change
NAMI Orange County is committed to supporting the mental health and well-being of our community. Due to an unexpected loss in funding, we must adjust our WarmLine services at this time.
Effective immediately, the NAMI OC WarmLine will operate daily from 12:00 PM to 12:00 AM.
You may leave a message at any time outside of these hours, and a team member will return your call during our operating hours.
Our Commitment
INAMI OC leadership is dedicated to continuing WarmLine services in some capacity while we work tirelessly to secure additional funding. Our goal is to restore 24/7 operations as soon as possible so we can provide the support our community needs and deserves.
