The Suicide and Crisis Lifeline

This service is free and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All calls are confidential.

It is important to note that suicide is not a normal response to stress. Suicidal thoughts or actions are a sign of extreme distress and should not be ignored. If these warning signs apply to you or someone you know, get help as soon as possible, particularly if the behavior is new or has increased recently.
