If you are having thoughts of suicide, a mental health professional can help. If you are currently in a state of distress, click on the call 988 or use this website to access dedicated crisis services. AFSP encompasses the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, a Veteran’s Crisis Line, and a Crisis Text Line. See “Learn the Facts” for information about 988 as a mental-health focused alternative to 911 (however: callers should be aware that in select cases 988 may refer to 911).
