In the United States:

Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifelife at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or visit site at http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ .

Find a local crisis center on the National Hopeline Network's Referral System at http://hopeline.com/ries.asp .

Call 911

Look in the Yellow Pages under crisis, suicide, mental health, counseling, or hospitals.

Check the blue pages of your phone book for your county's mental health department.
This will not be a crisis number, but you can call and ask them if they know of one.

You may contact Lifeline by telephone 24 hours a day ( numbers are at http://www.lifeline.org.au.) Young people, under 18, may also contact the Kids Help Line at http://www.kidshelp.com.au .

Who should you call if you are feeling suicidal or having suicidal thoughts or if you'd just like to talk about your feelings?
