PSA - many crisis hotlines will call the cops on you. research this before calling if that could impact your life.
more details: today i was researching resources for our Pride organization and i was compiling a list of crisis hotlines when i came across TransLifeline's #SafeHotline concept. after digging into the crisis hotlines i was going to provide, i found that none of the commonly cited hotlines adhere to the Caller's Bill of Rights.
