emergency hotline

Urgent help call

An emergency hotline is a telephone number that connects callers to immediate assistance during a crisis.

These lines typically operate around the clock and serve specific urgent needs: Call the suicide prevention hotline if you're in crisis.

Some connect to general emergency services like 911, while others address particular situations—poison control, domestic violence, mental health emergencies.
