A note on these numbers. We list the helplines below because they are the right places to call. We do not re-verify every number every month — that claim used to appear here and it was not true. If a number doesn’t connect, or you believe one has changed, please tell us and we will correct it.
Hours shown are as published by each service. Lines showing weekday hours are office-hours lines, not crisis lines. In an emergency use 9-8-8 or 911.
