What is HeartLine?
As Oklahoma’s suicide-prevention experts and 24-hour crisis contact center, HeartLine leads the charge in operating a comprehensive support system. We are structured to effectively bring resources and compassionate, nonjudgmental support to Oklahomans in need and to prevent suicide in our communities. Our work focuses on compassionate listening, connecting those in need to important resources, crisis intervention and suicide prevention. These objectives lead to individuals and families who are able to improve the quality of their own lives.
What is 2-1-1?
As the largest program of HeartLine, 2-1-1 is a free, 24-hour phone service that provides Oklahomans access to information about health and human services. Highly trained 2-1-1 call specialists offer compassionate engagement and can make in-depth assessments and referral plans based on eligibility requirements for each program. We work with our callers to make a plan using our 2-1-1 database – the most comprehensive entity of its kind in the state, with more than 13,000 services available – that improves the quality of their families’ lives. We offer help in more than 200 languages and provide the public with a place to turn for nonemergency needs during times of disaster.
2-1-1 can connect Oklahomans to a variety of services such as:
- Housing/utility assistance
- Food
- Clothes
- Legal
- Health care/mental health care
- Individual, family & community support
- Crisis intervention
Who does HeartLine 2-1-1 serve?
HeartLine 2-1-1 answers 2-1-1 for 40 counties in Western and Central Oklahoma. Any Oklahoman in need can call 2-1-1 for access to health and human services.
At a recent community outreach event, HeartLine staff met a gentleman who shared that he had called 2-1-1 last year after having been diagnosed with lung cancer. He said that it had been the “final straw” in a year of horrible events and he didn’t know what to do or where to go for support. He said that the call specialist he spoke to “gave me an ear when the world was crumbling down around me. They reminded me that there is nothing I can’t do. They gave me hope when I had nothing.”
