Crisis Lines
Crisis hotlines are intended to be used when a person is experiencing a crisis such as suicidal thoughts and/or intent, or another mental health crisis that poses an immediate or imminent risk to the caller.
These hotlines are staffed by individuals who have been trained to handle crises. Some hotlines have volunteers with minimal training, while others may have skilled, trained counselors in your area who will answer your call.
You don’t need to be experiencing a crisis to contact a crisis hotline. But you can also reach out if you’re feeling sad, anxious or stressed and don’t know where to turn. These hotlines also serve friends, family members and loved ones of someone who is experiencing a mental health crisis, domestic violence, abuse, addiction , and many other issues.
Even if someone at a crisis hotline cannot help you with your specific needs, they can point you to the right resources that can. No one will ever make you feel bad for trying to get help, and no concern is too trivial or small. If it feels hard for you to manage, it’s worth reaching out.
Remember, if you feel like you or someone you know is in immediate danger, you should call 911 (or your country’s local emergency line) or go to an emergency room to get immediate help.
