Suicide Crisis Hotlines
Suicide crisis hotlines are specialized support services staffed by trained professionals or volunteers who provide immediate help to individuals experiencing thoughts of self-harm or suicide. When someone calls, they receive empathetic listening, emotional support, and safety planning. These hotlines aim to de-escalate crises, offer reassurance, and connect callers to ongoing mental health resources if needed. They operate 24/7, ensuring help is available anytime, and serve as a vital lifeline for those in urgent distress, helping individuals find hope, plan safety strategies, and seek further assistance.
