Some resources open websites operated by other organizations, including 988, TheHopeLine, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Apple, Bible resources, and youmatter.us. Their privacy practices apply after you choose to open them.
- Social posts and videos are linked instead of embedded, so those platforms do not load merely because you visit a Hope page.
