Crisis lines for every country, in your language.
Guessed from your device clock. Haven never asks for or stores your location.
Most lines answer in English. The worldwide directory lists helplines that answer in your language.
While you wait for someone
- Stay where other people are, or ask one person to sit with you.
- Put anything you could use to hurt yourself out of reach, or give it to someone.
- Slow your breathing: in for four, hold for four, out for four. Repeat five times.
- Nothing has to be decided tonight. Getting through the next hour is enough.
