Help

If you feel as though you’re needing help with mental health, please reach out to family or friends. If you don’t have access to close mentors or feel as though they wouldn’t understand, locate a therapist in your area or call 1-800-662-HELP (4357), the SAMHSA Treatment number.

If you have thoughts of suicide, you can call 1-800-273-TALK (8255). They can talk to you and/or put you in contact with a local crisis center.

If you don’t feel comfortable talking, text HOME to 741741 if you’re in the US. This is a crisis text line. Crisis Text Line

If it is an immediate emergency, please go to the nearest hospital or call 911 if the situation requires it. They’ll be able to assist with suicide prevention and find a mental hospital in your area.
