Helplines, crisis lines, and suicide hotlines play an essential role in allowing people to communicate in their way and at their time. People feel a sense of control and are freed to discuss matters far too risky to share face to face.

In general, helplines, crisis lines, and suicide hotlines have three things in common:
1) they are often available to call 24 hours a day, seven days a week
2) they don't cost you anything
3) they are confidential


Calling a helpline, crisis line, and or a suicide hotline is a great way to be heard and get sound advice on how to approach your problems. When help is needed, this is an excellent place to start.

Below is an extensive list of helplines, crisis lines, and suicide hotlines from all around the world. Please choose your country and call the appropriate number. Are you finding the list unmanageable?

On a desktop, hold down the 'Ctrl' + 'F' keys, search for your country, and then dial a number.
