A suicidal person sees everything in black and white, and does not consider other alternatives. People also call when they are depressed, abusing drugs and/or alcohol, having family-related problems, and for any other kind of crisis.

What other services does the HELPline Provide?
The HELPline also serves as a local information and referral number. One phone call gives you information on the services available to meet health care, legal services, family planning and much more.
