IMPORTANT NOTES
24/7 SERVICES:
Services marked as 24/7 provide round-the-clock support. Many other services offer extended hours; check specific times listed.
COUNTRY CODES:
All international numbers include country codes. When calling domestically within each country, typically dial without the + and country code, or use the shortened versions listed (e.g., "1411" instead of "+351 1411" in Portugal).
LANGUAGES:
Most services operate in local languages. English availability is noted where confirmed. Many European services offer multilingual support through interpretation services.
TEXT/CHAT OPTIONS:
Increasingly common across all countries. WhatsApp, SMS, and web chat services are noted where available. Particularly strong text/chat infrastructure in: Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Germany, France, Singapore, Ireland.
LGBT+ SUPPORT:
While dedicated LGBT+ hotlines exist in many countries, general crisis lines typically support LGBT+ populations. Some countries (Spain's 028, France's Ligne Azur, Netherlands' Switchboard, etc.) have specialized LGBT+ services.
WARM LINES:
Most general crisis lines accept non-emergency calls and provide emotional support beyond acute crisis situations. Services explicitly noted as "warm lines" or peer support include non-police-involved community support.
VERIFICATION:
All resources verified as current for 2024-2025 through official government websites, organizational sites, and recent news sources. However, hours and availability may change; users should verify directly with services when possible.
FREE SERVICES:
The vast majority of listed services are free of charge. Where fees apply (e.g., some specialized counseling), sliding scales or affordable rates are typically offered.
EATING DISORDERS:
Dedicated eating disorder hotlines are limited globally. Countries with specialized services include Australia (Butterfly), France, Spain, Italy, and Austria. Other countries provide eating disorder support through general mental health lines or hospital-based programs.
SUICIDE BEREAVEMENT:
Many general crisis lines (AASRA in India, SOS in multiple countries) explicitly welcome families bereaved by suicide. Argentina's SEDRONAR and several other services offer specialized bereavement support.
This comprehensive resource list was compiled from official sources, government health departments, established mental health organizations, and verified hotline directories as of October 2025.
