The Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is an invaluable resource for individuals in crisis in the United States.

The lifeline is active 24 hours a day and has support for Spanish-speaking individuals. People can call or text trained crisis counselors, who will provide assistance and contact emergency services if needed. According to their Frequently Asked Questions, “[T]he 988 coordinated response is intended to promote stabilization and care in the least restrictive manner” (988 Frequently Asked Questions).
