Life can feel heavy in ways that aren’t always visible. Many of us carry responsibilities, pressure, emotional weight, and unspoken stress every day, and sometimes it only takes one moment for everything to feel like too much.
This page exists to make sure you always have a safe, reliable place to access updated and relevant crisis support resources, no matter where you live. You’re not expected to carry everything alone, and help should be available when you need it.
If you or someone you love is in immediate danger, call 911.
You can also call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7 across the United States:
