If you are in immediate danger
If you are in immediate danger or feel that you might act on these thoughts right now, call 911. If you are able, stay with someone you trust until help is in place.
If you are having thoughts of suicide
You are not alone and you deserve support. Thoughts of suicide can feel frightening or overwhelming — these feelings are a sign that you are dealing with great pain, not that you have failed.

Canada’s Suicide Crisis Helpline is available 24 hours a day — free, confidential, and compassionate. You do not need to be in crisis to reach out. Call or text 9-8-8 anytime.
