Calling a crisis hotline

[Juche]

Are these anonymous? How does it work?

I'm looking for a therapist type person to talk to and don't know where to look.

2. I think so.

You might want to try DU groups, too.

3. 211 will get you pointed in the right direction

Dial it like 911, but it's 211. The operators can point you toward therapists/crisis hotlines, and can answer your other questions as well.

4. If you really feel you need to talk

to a therapist on a crisis hotline, please do not take advice from DUers to discuss your problem here. Call the crisis hotline and seek out a professional.

I hope you find what you need. :hug:

5. Call the crisis hotline

You'll have someone to talk to, and they won't turn you away. :pals:

6. If you feel the need to talk, call the hotline or 211
