In a crisis? Call or text 988 — Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7.
RAW419 provides peer-based community support for women navigating mental health challenges. We want to be transparent about what we are — and what we are not.
1.We Are a Peer-Support Community
RAW419 is a community-led organization. Our support groups are facilitated by trained peers — women with lived experience — not licensed mental health professionals. Participation in our groups is not a substitute for professional mental health treatment, therapy, or psychiatric care.
2.We Are Not a Clinical Service
RAW419 does not provide diagnosis, treatment, or clinical intervention of any kind. We do not offer therapy, counseling, crisis intervention, or medical advice. Nothing shared in our groups, on this website, or through our communications should be interpreted as professional mental health guidance.
3.If You Are in Crisis
If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health emergency, please call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) immediately, or go to your nearest emergency room. RAW419 is not equipped to respond to crisis situations.
4.Confidentiality Within Groups
We ask all group members to respect the confidentiality of what is shared in our sessions. However, RAW419 cannot legally guarantee confidentiality in the same way a licensed therapist can. Please be mindful of what you choose to share.
5.Encouragement to Seek Professional Support
We strongly encourage all participants to also work with licensed mental health professionals when possible. Our Resources page includes a directory of free and low-cost mental health services in the Toledo, OH area.
