Many of our resources are Canadian based, so this one is for our friends down south. As part of our 12 Days of Resources blog series we are highlighting an American helpline - the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

The Lifeline offers 24/7 free and confidential support for people in distress, their loved ones and professionals looking for guidance. Call 1-800-273-8255.

Spanish support line available at 1-888-628-9454.

Support line for those who are deaf or hard of hearing at 1-800-799-4889.
