Suicide Prevention Lifeline Chat

Crisis & Suicide Support · Pennsylvania · Free

Free 24/7 online crisis chat at 988lifeline.org/chat — alternative to phone for those who prefer text-based support. For LGBTQ+ people in crisis, family members worried about a loved one, and anyone in suicidal distress. Chat and text options are available alongside phone for people who can't speak out loud safely. Specialized lines don't appear in your phone records as 'mental health' — most show as a regular national 800 number. All services free of charge to LGBTQ+ Pennsylvania residents and allies.
