crisis hotline

A crisis hotline is a dedicated telephone service that provides immediate support to individuals experiencing emotional distress, mental health emergencies, or suicidal thoughts. Trained responders offer empathetic listening, guidance, and resources to help people navigate difficult situations, feel less alone, and explore options for assistance. The goal is to ensure safety and stabilization until further help can be arranged, making it an accessible, confidential, and often free resource for those in urgent need of psychological support.
