Washington Youth

The help you need, whenever you need it.

Real Support Always Free Available 24/7

Talk to someone about what's going on, whether it's mental health issues, reporting a threat, or a concern about a friend.

Created for youth up to age 25.

HearMeWA was shaped by young people across Washington who wanted a way to ask for help, report a concern, or support a friend without pressure or judgment. If you’re under 25 in Washington, this free and safe helpline is for you. Want to stay anonymous? That’s ok! Just don’t provide personal information.

It gets easier from here.

When something’s weighing on you, sometimes it just helps to talk to a real person—no bots, no scripts. Someone who listens, understands, and helps you figure out what comes next, whether that’s getting additional support, finding resources, or just being heard.

You share what feels right to you. We’ll help you take it from there.

Person using phone to reach out

Real support is always in reach.

The HearMeWA app is free and gives you a direct line to connect with trained crisis counselors 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Not sure what to say?

You can talk about anything here. Young people are searching the internet for support on these topics—and HearMeWA partners can help:
