Common Questions

What should I do if I'm having thoughts of suicide?

Call or text 988 immediately — the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7, free, and confidential. If you are in immediate danger, call 911. You are not alone, and trained counselors are ready to help right now.

What is 988?

988 is the U.S. Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. You can call or text 988 from any phone to reach a trained crisis counselor, free of charge, any time of day or night. It replaced the previous 10-digit number in 2022.

How do I help someone who seems to be struggling?

Ask directly if they are okay. Listen without judgment. Encourage them to call 988 or see a professional. Stay with them if you can. You don't need to have the right words — showing up matters more than saying the perfect thing.

Does Tap Out Depression provide crisis counseling?

No. Tap Out Depression is a community awareness and outreach nonprofit — not a crisis counseling service or clinical provider. We connect people to professional resources and build community support. For crisis support, please call or text 988.
