The following is copied from the show notes of Breaking Form’s episode Elegy.

The National Institute of Mental Health has a good FAQ about suicide, ideation, and helping those you love to cope with these things.

Text or call 988 for a 24-hour suicide hotline.

Read here for a discussion of what happens if/when you disclose suicidal ideation to a therapist, including the therapist’s legal obligations to report or not. The site is supported by Mental Health America, a leading nonprofit community-based organization promoting mental health awareness .

Translifeline is a text / call-based hotline which has a policy against non-consensual active rescue, which means they will not call emergency services or law enforcement without your explicit request – even if you tell them you or someone else is in danger. They are required to alert authorities if they think a minor is being emotionally or physically abused or neglected, or they believe that the caller intends to harm someone else.

Trevor Lifeline: 866-4-U-TREVOR (866-488-7386)
