Crisis Resources
You are not alone.
If you or someone you know are in immediate danger, please call 911.
Below are additional resources that can provide support by phone or text.
*We acknowledge that calling 911 is not safe for everyone, depending on identity, history, and many other factors. If you need to call 911, please consider additionally reaching out to friends, neighbors, family, or community leaders to request their presence and support.
**Please note most crisis line workers are mandated to report calls regarding suicide to the police. If you are concerned, you can ask about their reporting policies before you share your situation.

"In the Alternatives to Suicide [support group] approach, people are welcome to talk about anything, including wanting to die. No one will call the police, crisis, or other involuntary interventions. Nor do we offer any advice or assessment of experiences unless a person specifically asks for that. Participants are encouraged to use “I”-statements and make meaning of their own experience. Using this approach, people can explore the context of their experiences around suicide, their reasons for wanting to die, and work to change their relationship to their thoughts, feelings, and circumstances."
