The banner image of three people of different ethnic groups bringing their hands together over a map of the world to represent the page - Global Crisis and Support Information Found on Unwanted Life

Global Crisis Lines And Support

I’ve added a lot of support details and crisis lines to my posts since creating my blog. Thus, I thought It might be useful to collect all that information into one easily findable page for people to access.

 

Although crisis line information for the UK can be found in this list, I’ve also created a page that has links to all the UK’s support services, which can be found here.

 

CLICK THE PICTURE FOR UK CRISIS LINES AND SUPPORT picture of the United Kingdom made out of scrabble pieces that spell out "support" on the backdrop of a graffitied Union Jack on a wall hand a hand indicating to tap it to be taken to the page - UK Crisis Lines and Support Services

 

I took the rather odd way of listing stuff first by category and then by country. Starting the list off with 24/7 Crisis Lines, followed by Help LinesText LinesEmail SupportWebchatMessage Boards and Forums, and lastly, Online Group Support.

 

Remember, you are Unwanted Life!

 

I’ve done my best to check all the details I for all the details to be as accurate as I can make them, but I’m not perfect. Please let me know if any details are incorrect or have changed.

 

Also, please feel free to tell me about any other crisis lines, support numbers, live chats, messaging services, etc. that aren’t listed here, especially for other countries. You never know who it might end up helping one day.
