❝Crisis lines and suicide hotlines in Japan offer you the lifeline you need when you need it most. Reach for the phone, make the call, you have nothing to lose.❞

Helplines, crisis lines, and suicide hotlines let you reach out whenever you need and offer a chance to discuss things you might not be ready to share face-to-face.

They are a great way to be heard and get sound advice. Many are open 24/7, and all are free and confidential.

Therapy should be personal. Therapists listed on TherapyRoute are qualified, independent, and free to answer to you – no scripts, algorithms, or company policies.
