The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline – 1-800-273-TALK (8255) – is a 24-hour, toll-free, confidential suicide prevention hotline available to anyone in suicidal crisis or emotional distress. By dialing 1-800-273-TALK, the call is routed to the nearest crisis center in our national network of more than 150 crisis centers. The Lifeline’s national network of local crisis centers, provide crisis counseling and mental health referrals day and night. The Lifeline is administered by Link2Health Solutions, Inc.
