Support resources

Citewise writes about psychology and philosophy as a way of understanding yourself — not as treatment, and never as a substitute for professional help. If something you have read here describes your life and it is hard to carry, the services below are free, confidential, and staffed by people trained to help. They are independent organisations; we are pointing you to them, not providing the help ourselves.

If you are in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services now.

General mental-health support

Free, confidential help and referrals — you do not have to be in crisis to reach out.

  • SAMHSA National Helpline (US)

    1-800-662-4357 — free, confidential, 24/7; treatment information and referrals

  • Find a therapist

    Psychology Today’s searchable directory of licensed therapists (US, Canada, UK, Australia and more)

  • Other countries

    Find A Helpline lists free, confidential support lines by country, including Canada, New Zealand and South Africa

If you are in crisis

If you are having thoughts of suicide or self-harm, please reach out now. If someone is in immediate danger, call your local emergency number first.

Abusive or controlling relationships

For coercive control, emotional or physical abuse, or an unsafe relationship — including with a family member.

Grief, loss, and substance use

Bereavement is not a disorder and substance use is not a moral failure — but you do not have to face either alone.
