Is this like calling emergency services?

No. Helplines are not emergency services, but they provide confidential emotional support. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call your local emergency number right away (911 in the US, 999 in the UK, 112 across Europe).

How do you know what country I am in?

We make an estimate using your timezone and your browser language. Don’t worry, we do not ask for your location or send this information to our servers. Also, if our suggestion is wrong, you can change it manually at any time.

What countries does the tool cover?

We have official crisis lines and mental health support services from many countries. Just select your location and see what’s available.

Can I use this tool when tapering off antidepressants?

Sure, many people going through withdrawal need extra support, and helplines provide just that. They are there for anyone who is struggling, whether or not they are tapering. However, they cannot assist you with medication decisions. Please contact your prescriber if you have questions about your treatment.

Can a helpline replace my doctor or therapist?

No. Helplines are there to support and advise you on additional resources, not replace your doctor or therapist. But if you think you might need medical help, it’s best to reach out to a healthcare professional.
