Mental Health Helplines, Suicide Hotlines, And Depression Advice Centers

Disclaimer: This post may contain affiliate links, which could result in us receiving a small commission if you make a purchase. This will not affect the price you pay, but it does help us maintain the site and keep the information you’re reading free of charge (learn more). Any quoted prices, features, specifications etc. are correct at the time of writing, but please do check for yourself before buyingThank you so much for supporting Happy Happy Vegan!

Although reaching out for help can be tough, doing so can bring great solace. I know, I’ve been there.

Simply finding out you’re not alone, that someone cares, can be very comforting, but we’re often not prepared to offload onto loved ones. We don’t want to burden them with our problems.

Below you’ll find, separated by country, a list of suicide hotlines, mental health helplines, and general advice centers who are ready and willing to listen, many of which are manned 24/7.

You’ll be able to speak anonymously, should you wish, so do pick up the phone. Asking for help is nothing to be ashamed of.

If you spot a mistake in the list or know of another hotline or helpline that should be included, please let me know.

About The Author:
Lisa Williams
Happy Happy Vegan editor

Lisa Williams is a committed vegan, passionate animal welfare advocate, and keen follower of too many v-friendly food blogs to mention. She started happyhappyvegan.com back in 2016 because she felt there was a need for more straightforward information on plant-based living.

Back then, too many sites seem to either concentrate solely on recipes or be too intimidating or inaccessible for the v-curious, and she wanted to change that. The landscape is certainly a whole lot different now!

4 thoughts on “Mental Health Helplines, Suicide Hotlines, And Depression Advice Centers”

  1. As a Mental Health Advocate on a Local, State and Federal Level I so appreciate your efforts to create such a list. This clearly took a lot of time and no doubt will take massive efforts to keep updated. I would love to see if I can help in some way.

    In Montana, which is considered a frontier state, along with Alaska Wyoming, the Dakotas and Nebraska there are few services and providers are hard to keep. We get a number of people straight out of college as interns but then go to a larger metropolitan area for better money and opportunities. Please contact me at your convenience if you’d like to brainstorm ways to expand your list.

    • Apologies Alicia, this comment somehow got filtered away from my dashboard. Sorry about that!

      I’d love to go over how we can work together on this. Happy to talk any time.
