Suicide Prevention Lifeline Chat

Crisis & Suicide Support · Tennessee · Free

Free 24/7 online crisis chat at 988lifeline.org/chat — alternative to phone for those who prefer text-based support. Useful for trans, nonbinary, and questioning callers who need to be heard without explaining what their pronouns mean. Most calls last 15–45 minutes and the counselor stays on until you feel steadier. Specialized lines don't appear in your phone records as 'mental health' — most show as a regular national 800 number. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
