Suicide Hotlines and Crisis Lines in Nigeria

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.

Many are open 24/7, and most are free to call. What you share is kept private in almost all cases; if a counsellor believes a life is in immediate danger, they may arrange urgent help.
