What the call is like
You can call for someone else
Every line on this page takes calls from worried family members, friends, and bystanders — not just the person in crisis.
What they’ll ask
Where you are, what’s happening, and whether anyone is in immediate danger. You don’t need perfect words — the person answering does this every day.
About emergency response
Crisis lines work to support people where they are; emergency services get involved when safety requires it. Honesty helps the person on the line help you.
Web forms are not crisis tools
No form on this site is monitored 24/7. For anything urgent, use the numbers on this page — always.
