If You Know Someone in Crisis
Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (Lifeline) at 1-800-273-TALK (8255), or text the Crisis Text Line (text HELLO to 741741). Both services are free and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All calls are confidential. Contact social media outlets directly if you are concerned about a friend’s social media updates. You may dial 988 in a mental health emergency or dial 911 in a medical emergency (Dialing 988 will not send police to your home but instead a Crisis Response Team if available including a counselor).
