We can all help prevent suicide. The Lifeline provides 24/7, free and confidential support for people in distress, prevention and crisis resources for you or your loved ones, and best practices for professionals.
Updated for 2026: the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is now the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Call or text 988, or chat online at 988lifeline.org. The old number, 1-800-273-8255, still connects to the same service.
If someone is in immediate danger, call 911.
