crisis services
If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, please use the resources below.
In an emergency
Call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
A note before calling: police are not equipped to provide mental health support, and intervention has historically posed serious risk to Black, Indigenous, People of Color, transgender, neurodivergent, mentally ill, and disabled people. Where possible, the resources below offer alternatives that don't involve law enforcement.
24/7 mental health crisis lines
988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988. Free, confidential, 24/7. Connects callers to trained counselors without immediate police or medical intervention unless necessary.
Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741. Trained crisis counselors, 24/7.
NYC Well (New York City) — call 1-888-NYC-WELL, text WELL to 65173, or chat at nycwell.cityofnewyork.us. Free, confidential, multilingual, 24/7.
NAMI HelpLine (information and referrals — not a 24/7 crisis line) — call 1-800-950-6264, text NAMI to 62640, or email helpline@nami.org. Monday–Friday, 10 a.m. – 10 p.m. ET.
If you suspect a person may be thinking about ending their life, it is always best to ask directly and offer resources, rather than to do or say nothing.
