Crisis Resources
If you or someone you love is in crisis, please reach out right away. You don't have to be in immediate danger to call — these services are also here if you're struggling, scared, or just need to talk to someone.

If you're a family member, and it's your loved one you're worried about:
You don't have to manage this alone either. Any of the numbers above can also help you think through how to support someone you're worried about — and your own support options are just as important right now.
A note on availability: crisis-line services for LGBTQ+ callers have changed more than once over the past year. If a specific number above is ever unavailable, 988 remains the most reliable starting point and can connect you to appropriate support regardless.
