What to say when you call

If you're calling for yourself and don't know what to say, you can start with: "I'm not doing well and I need someone to talk to." That is enough. They will take it from there.

If you're calling about someone else: share their name, last known location, and what you observed. You don't need all the details — call first, gather information second.
