HearMeWA is a free, 24/7 helpline dedicated to supporting youth up to age 25 by connecting them with local resources.

  • Multiple access points: Youth can connect via phone, text, mobile app, or online tip form—all available in multiple languages and ADA compliant
  • Flexible anonymity: Youth choose whether to identify themselves or remain anonymous
  • Responsive routing: Reports are directed appropriately—from immediate 911 response for life threatening situations to school notifications, regional crisis lines, 988, or other community resources for less urgent needs
  • Youth-driven design: Created through youth advocacy and guided by a youth advisory group that ensures the program remains anti-racist, trauma-informed, and youth-centered
