More information

How to search for country: On desktop, go to the letter your country starts with, press the three dots in the top right corner of your desktop page, click "find", and then type in the name of your country! On mobile open the carrd in chrome browser, click on the three dots in the top right corner of your browser, and press "find in page", then type in the name of your country.

What to do if your country doesn't have a hotline listed: Stay calm, this does not mean that help is out of reach, emergency numbers can be used in mental health crises (see below for a guide on how to do so safely). However, if the police in your country don't have the resources or understanding to help, there are still things that can be done. If you have trusted friends or family, call or message them that you are in a crisis and need support (examples pictured and linked below). You are not a burden for needing help and you deserve safety and comfort. If you fear you are in immediate danger, contact your local hospital about their mental health services and try to find someone to take you there. There will always be other options, this does not have to be the end for you.

How to call the police in a crisis: If you decide that you need to call police for help, make sure to let the operator know that your emergency is related to a mental health crisis. Ask them to send emergency responders who have Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training. The most important thing is to be clear you are not a danger and that it is mental health related. If you do not feel like you can trust your local police, you may want to see other options listed above.

Resources for helping a loved one:

Distractions: Videos and websites linked below! Other ideas: doodle something, journal your thoughts, watch your favorite tv show, pick up a new book, google deep-dive a topic you're interested in, look for fanart of your favorite characters. Got a pet? Show it some love. If its sunny, go outside. open some windows and breathe deeply, take a bath or shower, bake something yummy, find a silly mobile game and play it, go for a bike ride, a walk, or a run. Create a themed playlist, find 10 new music artists you like, watch a new channel on youtube, play a game you played as a kid, craft something, play a sandbox game, call a friend, call a family member, create a pinterest board, do silly buzzfeed quizzes, try some new food, do your makeup, make a new outfit, make your bed, brush your teeth, organize something, look at cute animals, plan a theoretical event (party, vacation, dance, etc), yoga, learn some words from another language, watch a comfort movie, look at trail or zoo cams, paint something (it doesn't have to be good)! Do a word search or crossword, do a puzzle, paint your nails, try a new hairstyle, play an instrument, color a coloring page, make a list of things that you loved as a kid. There are so many things you can do to distract from suicidal thoughts. Distractions are not a long-term solution, if you are struggling please seek help, but they can help in an emergency to help you calm down from a crisis.

Quick calming mechanisms:
-Deep breaths, there's a visual guide below.
-Pick a number and count to it.
-54321 Method: 5: Acknowledge FIVE things you see around you. 4: Acknowledge FOUR things you can touch around you. 3: Acknowledge THREE things you hear. 2: Acknowledge TWO things you can smell. 1: Acknowledge ONE thing you can taste.
- Chew something with a very strong taste.
- Play with fidget or sensory toys.
- Write down your thoughts and rip it up.
- Pet an animal.
- Tense your whole body and then release, massage your tense muscles, unclench your jaw.
- For panic attacks, fill a bowl with ice cold water and dip your face in it. This causes your nervous system to reset.
