Misunderstandings and negative attitudes prevent people from speaking openly or getting support.

Su***de is a serious public health issue. It is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, but it is preventable with proper support and intervention.

You don’t have to wait for a crisis. Seeking help early, even for stress or burnout can prevent more serious problems later.

Mental health hotlines that are easy to reach are listed below.

📞 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline (U.S.)
- Call or text: 988
- Available: 24/7, free, and confidential
- You can also chat online at the official site
- Connects you with trained counselors for emotional distress, anxiety, depression, or crisis—not just su***de
