Need support right away?

So, you're in a bad spot. I'm really glad you came to this page. You're doing the right thing by reaching out for help. You deserve to feel better and get the help you need.

No matter what has happened already, you always have the power to reach out for help.

You will get through this.

I can't respond to your messages right away, so if you need immediate support, are at immediate risk, or are in crisis, please contact 911, your local emergency services department, or go to your nearest hospital for emergency help and support. There are non-medical and non-police resources below that may meet your unique needs.

 

I care about you. Take a deep breath, and try one of these numbers, links, or both.
