The crisis support lifeline serves anyone who is in a moment of distress and is seeking support.
What happens when you call or text the crisis lifeline?
You experience a moment of crisis.
That doesn’t just mean imminent risk for suicide; it’s any painful emotion, issue, mental health crisis, difficult time, or rough patch for which you need support.
You call 988.
Your call is routed to the Lifeline network. A trained crisis counselor answers the phone, listens to you, works to understand how your problem is affecting you, provides support, and shares resources if needed.
Your counselor helps you transition from a crisis to a calm, safe place.
Generally, the conversation will come to an end when both you and the Counselor feel satisfied and assured that you have moved from the hot moment to a safe place.
