It is The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The main suicide hotline for all of the United States is not teen specific but works with teens every day. There are several teen suicide prevention lines available in the United States and other helplines designed to handle additional distress (such as in cases of abuse) that may be related to suicidal feelings. While calling 9-1-1 is appropriate when there is an imminent risk to life (such as if a teen has ingested an overdose of medication), for suicidal feelings alone, a teen suicide hotline or teen suicide chat can be a way of getting immediate help with those feelings. When you are feeling suicidal, there is no time to wait, a suicidal teen must get help now. Teen suicide hotlines and teen suicide chat are available 24/7 when you need them.
