Suicide Hotlines and Crisis Lines in Russia
❝Crisis lines and suicide hotlines in Russia 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. Operating hours vary, so please check each listing below. Most are free to call. Confidentiality differs: anonymous counselling lines and emergency dispatch services are not the same thing.
