Veterans Crisis Line

Crisis & Suicide Support · Washington · Free

988 then press 1, or text 838255 — free 24/7 confidential support for veterans, including LGBTQ+ veterans. Helpful for parents, partners, and friends of LGBTQ+ people who want to know how to support someone in crisis. Bilingual counselors are usually on shift; ask for one when the call connects. 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.
