Support Lines and Helpful Links
This page lists crisis support lines and mental health services. The Australian services are the ones we maintain and check. The other countries below are a short, incomplete selection — if your country is not among them, that means we have not listed it, not that no service exists. Find a Helpline covers over 130 countries and is the better starting point outside Australia.
These are all independently maintained external services. Voxsanity does not operate any of them and cannot guarantee their current availability. Numbers and services may change. Verify current details directly with each service.
If you are in immediate danger, call your local emergency services. In Australia: 000. In the United States: 911. In the United Kingdom: 999. In most of Europe: 112. This page is not a substitute for emergency services.
