Share only what you're comfortable with. KALMA's founder will reach out personally, usually within one to two business days. KALMA is still finalizing its privacy, consent, records-access, and mandatory-reporting policies, so please do not include sensitive details you would not want stored, and use a crisis line for confidential support. If you are specifically looking for referral and navigation support, you can also submit a referral inquiry.
