If you or someone else is in danger now
Call your local emergency number. If you can’t talk safely, some places let you text emergency services.
Somewhere else? Use the emergency number you know, or find it through findahelpline.com.
If you’re thinking about suicide or hurting yourself
You don’t need to be sure, or at a breaking point, to call. You can also call about someone else.
- US and Canada: call or text 988
- UK and Ireland: Samaritans, 116 123

If someone is hurting, threatening, or controlling you
It isn’t your fault. Specialist advocates can help you plan what’s safe, including if you aren’t ready to leave.

Leaving or announcing that you’ll leave can be a dangerous time. If you can, talk it through with an advocate before you tell the other person.
If you’re worried you might hurt someone
Stop and put distance between you and them. Don’t send anything else. Call one of the crisis lines above, and if someone is in danger, call your emergency number.
If you’re under 18
This app is for adults, but you still deserve help. Tell an adult you trust, and find a helpline for young people through childhelplineinternational.org. If anyone is pressuring or hurting you, it isn’t your fault.
If your phone or computer may be watched
- If you can, use a device the other person can’t reach, such as a friend’s phone or a library computer.
- Browser history can show the sites you visit. Private browsing keeps them out of history, but it won’t hide them from a monitoring app.
- Removing a tracking app or suddenly changing passwords can alert the other person. Talk to an advocate first if you can.
- Look for shared accounts, family location sharing, and unfamiliar devices that could show where you are.
