Trained professional counselors (who may be licensed health care professionals, certified educators, or specialists) listen to what users are going through, connect them with local support groups and organizations, and refer them to other health care professionals if more care is needed. While the service is available in English and Spanish, interpreters can also support over 60 additional languages, including Arabic, Creole, French, German, Italian, Hebrew, Hmong, Mandarin, Polish, Portuguese, Tagalog, and Vietnamese.
