Then act with courage.

All Nations Hotline is a crisis text line for Native Americans, staffed by Native American
History
The All Nations Hotline was established to address a critical gap in mental health support for Native communities. Its creation was inspired by the 2009 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services report, which recommended regional hotlines to deliver culturally specific crisis care to Native people.
This vision, born from consultations with tribal leaders and experts, grew from those roots. The All Nations Hotline, and its relaunch as the All Nations Network, aims to fulfill this vision by providing culturally attuned, text-based emotional support for Native individuals, whether in urban settings or reservations.
Milestones
- Successfully served hundreds of Native individuals across Nebraska’s tribes, offering culturally sensitive emotional support.
- Built a strong foundation with a network of trained Native counselors, ensuring every interaction is rooted in lived experience and cultural understanding.
- Established vital partnerships with the Santee Sioux Nation and Society of Care, demonstrating the power of collaboration in expanding mental health services.
- Relaunched as the All Nations Network, with the vision of expanding nationwide and welcoming newcomers, such as immigrants and refugees, into a circle of care rooted in Native values of hospitality and abundance.
