“I need help”. Emergency Hotlines
In crisis? Do you need support right now? It is okay to not be okay. Do you need help? It is okay to reach out for help. These questions are often asked in times of emergency need. Mission Music fully believes that no one should be alone in times of emergency. We are here for you. We put together a list of crisis hotlines for you to call or text. Some of these options also have online chat rooms available. Feel free to scroll through and save some of these numbers to your phone. You never know what support you might need one day. And Remember, your life IS and ALWAYS WILL BE worth it. Your life does matter.
Please note that all hotlines, unless specified otherwise, are open 24/7/365.

If you have a resource you’d like added to this list, please reach out to John at Johnm@missionmusicfoundation.com and be patient for a response. This resource is continuously updated even during the hiatus.
For Treatment Providers: Please be understanding that DEI and Social Justice are core components to this list and providing care. If a program is not safe for an oppressed population, it is not a program that will be added. John may ask for clarifying questions to your practice/organization/program if your website does not have those details. Without those answers, your program/org/etc will not be added.
