Crisis & Suicide Support · South Carolina · Free

International network of volunteer-led emotional support helplines across the world. Built for moments when you can't call a regular hotline — counselors are trained in LGBTQ+ identity and family rejection trauma. Chat and text options are available alongside phone for people who can't speak out loud safely. Family-rejection crisis is one of the top three reasons LGBTQ+ callers ring in — counselors handle this every day. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
