However bad today is, it is not the whole story.
Checked crisis helplines for wherever you are, tools that stay on your device, and honest guides for the long middle — the weeks and months where most of the work of getting better actually happens.
33 contact routes across 20 organisations, each checked by a person against the provider's own page. How we check them
Where would you like to start?
Find help near you
Search helplines, therapy and support groups across 199 countries. Filter by what's going on, who it's for, and whether they're open right now.
Build a safety plan
A short written plan for the moments you can't think straight. Stays on your device, prints onto one page, and is never sent to us.
Your toolkit
Grounding exercises, a hope box, coping cards, reasons for living, and a mood tracker — all private to this device.
Supporting someone
How to ask directly, what to say, what not to say, and how to keep going when it is exhausting.
Guides
Getting a first appointment, surviving a waiting list, what an assessment is actually like, and what happens after a hospital stay.
If someone has died
Support for people bereaved by suicide — a specific kind of grief that general bereavement support often cannot reach.
Why this site exists
Most suicide prevention content stops at a phone number. That is the right first answer and a poor only answer, because the hardest part is rarely the hour of the crisis — it is the weeks after, when the crisis team has gone, the waiting list is eleven months long, and nobody has told you what recovery is supposed to feel like. This site does both. Every crisis contact is verified against the provider's own page and dated, so you can see when a human last checked it. Everything after that — safety plans, self-checks, worksheets, guides for the people around you — is built for the long middle, where most of the work of getting better actually happens.
What we promise
Nothing you write here leaves your device.
Safety plans, mood logs and worksheets are stored in your browser. There is no account, no tracking of what you type, and nothing for anyone to leak.
No method detail, anywhere on this site.
We never name, describe or compare the ways people end their lives — not in guides, not in stories, not in statistics. This is enforced by an automated check that blocks the site from being published if anything slips through. It caught this very sentence in an earlier draft.
No number goes up unchecked.
Every contact was confirmed against the provider's own page, and each one shows you the date. If we could not confirm it, we do not publish it.
No sign-in wall between you and a phone number.
No pop-ups, no adverts, no newsletter interruption, and no cookie banner on the crisis pages.
