If you or someone you care about is struggling, you don’t have to face it alone.
There are people who will listen without judgment and help you stay safe.
The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7 in the United States.
You can reach trained counselors by calling or texting 988.
They can offer support during moments of emotional distress, suicidal thoughts, or any kind of mental health crisis.
You don’t need to be in immediate danger to reach out — it’s also there for moments when things feel overwhelming, confusing, or too heavy to carry by yourself.
If you’re worried about someone else, you can call 988 for guidance on how to support them.
Reaching out is a sign of strength, not failure.
You deserve support, safety, and care.
