In the future, I hope to talk to someone that works there to get their perspective as well.

Can I use the Veterans Crisis Line even if I'm already receiving care from VA? What mental health services are available from VA? Do I have to give my name or share personal information when I call the Veterans Crisis Line? If I share personal information, will it be kept confidential?
