Depression Hotlines


Depression hotlines offer access to trained professionals who are able to discuss a range of topics.1 Most are open 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. In addition to offering a sympathetic ear, they can refer callers to other organizations for various resources. If you or a loved one is having thoughts of suicide, a hotline specialist can provide understanding without judgment.1 Some hotlines specialize in depression, suicide, or all types of crisis.2

Fast Facts:

  • Some hotlines provide help from survivors of suicide.3
  • Counselors are trained to discuss anxiety, alcoholism, and substance abuse as well.1
  • 1-800-SUICIDE is the number for the National Suicide Hotline.2
