Mental Health Hotlines

Sometimes we all need more support than any social media campaign can provide. In these instances, we believe it’s important to speak to a mental health professional. We’ve learned, however, that so many of us don’t know where to start. To help, we developed this list of international mental health resources and suicide prevention hotlines. We invite you to use this list for yourself or to help support others. For example, in the U.S., Psychology Today has a database of therapists that is searchable by zip code. Simply finding and sharing a link of local therapists could help someone so much.

Any mention or thoughts of suicide or self-harm, should immediately be referred to a local Suicide Prevention Hotline. For example, the National Suicide Prevention Hotline in the U.S. is 1-800-273-8255.

Please note this database was last reviewed for accuracy in March 2021. We encourage you to always double check the organization’s website to ensure their contact information is still accurate.
