If You Are in Crisis...

If you are in immediate physical danger, call 911 (US) or your local emergency number now.

If it's not safe to talk out loud, most emergency services also accept text — check your local emergency service's website for text-to-911 availability.

​

If you need to talk to someone but it's not a 911 emergency

• National Domestic Violence Hotline — 1-800-799-7233, available 24/7, or chat at thehotline.org

• 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988, 24/7, if you're in emotional crisis or having thoughts of suicide

• ​

Right now, in this moment

• If you're able to, get to a room with a door that locks, or somewhere with an exit.

• If you can safely reach a phone, call someone you trust or one of the numbers above.

• You do not have to explain, justify, or have a perfect story ready. "I'm not safe" is enough.
