Immediate support

United States

If you’re in the U.S. and need immediate help, call or text 988.

If you are in immediate danger, call your local emergency number.

If you are outside the U.S., search for your local crisis hotline or emergency services in your country.

Kindred tools

When to seek professional help

If you’re experiencing persistent thoughts of self-harm, feel unsafe, or symptoms that may require medical support, Kindred encourages professional care. Peer support can help, but it should not carry what belongs in treatment.
