10 Reasons To Call The Lifeline

Whether you're struggling through a hard time, are worried about a friend, or just need support, there are a million of reasons to call the Lifeline.

1. When you don’t feel comfortable talking to your closest group of friends.

Sometimes those closest to you just aren't the right people to talk to.

2. When you feel like things are out of control

Feel like you're spinning in circles and can't stop? You're not alone -- call the Lifeline and talk it out.

3. Because sometimes it’s really hard to keep it all inside

You don't HAVE to keep it all inside. Sometimes you just need to vent. Let it out! Call the Lifeline.

4. So you don’t have to weather your storms alone

If you ever feel alone in the world (and who hasn't!) we want to be there for you.

5. If you’re concerned about a friend

Worrying that a friend is going to hurt themselves can be a scary thing. Call us if you're scared, or just need someone to listen.

6. Because sometimes, no matter what you’re going through, you just need to talk it out

Thoughts racing? Pick up the phone and call -- it can help slow them down.

7. If you want referrals to local services in your area to get help

Sometimes you don't want to talk on the phone, and that's ok! We'll help you find local resources that can help you out.

8. Even if you’re just “feeling down” or stressed – you don’t have to be suicidal to call

Not everyone who calls the Lifeline is suicidal. Many times people just are going through a rough time, and need someone to listen.
