988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline
The Support Hotline started in 1969 as a 24/7 service providing crisis intervention and supportive listening to help callers manage their crisis. We are here to listen to you. Our trained workers provide a safe space to talk about all sorts of feelings and problems including, but not limited to, depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, loneliness, interpersonal problems and financial issues. All calls are free and confidential. We are here to listen and talk with you whenever you need help the most.
The Support Hotline is part of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline network at 988.
