What Is the Tinman Line?

The Tinman Line is a free, confidential support line offered by the Blake Matthew Mindful Memorial Foundation.

It exists for moments when life feels heavy — when someone feels overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or simply alone — and needs a real human connection.

This is a space for listening, grounding, and helping people steady themselves and identify next steps. You don’t need to have the right words. You just need to reach out.

How It Works

1. Fill out the short form below

2. One of our trained listeners will respond by text as soon as possible

3. A real person will connect with you, listen, and offer calm support

We keep this simple on purpose. No long intake. No pressure. Just connection.

What the Tinman Line Can Help With

• Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally flooded

• Feeling alone or unsure who to talk to

• Stress, grief, burnout, or major life transitions

• Finding grounding in a difficult moment

• Talking through next steps or support options

You don’t need to be in crisis to reach out.

What the Tinman Line Is — and Is Not

The Tinman Line IS:

• Peer-based emotional support

• Calm, grounded human connection

• Confidential and respectful

• Centered in presence and listening

The Tinman Line IS NOT:

• An emergency service

• A crisis hotline

• Therapy, counseling, or medical care

If you are in immediate danger or considering harming yourself or others, please call 911 or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (U.S.) right now.

Availability

The Tinman Line is available during limited hours while we build capacity.
We respond as quickly as possible, but response times may vary.

If you submit a request outside of active hours, someone will respond when the line reopens.
