Crisis & Suicide Support · West Virginia · Free

International network of volunteer-led emotional support helplines across the world. 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. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
