Need Support?

Seeking support doesn’t require a crisis.

This page lists confidential helplines and support services for many different experiences, from ongoing stress and trauma to moments of acute distress.

If you’re unsure whether you “qualify,” you do. You’re allowed to reach out, ask questions, or simply listen.

How to use this page:

Start with what feels closest to what you’re experiencing right now. You don’t have to name it perfectly.

These resources support people at different levels of distress—from quiet overwhelm to urgent crisis. Many offer phone, text, or online options.

You’re allowed to reach out early, reach out unsure, or simply save this page for later.

If you’re in immediate danger or feel unsafe, local emergency services can provide immediate support.

If you’re outside the U.S., consider looking up crisis resources in your country.
