A Crisis Hotline is a telephone service that provides immediate support to individuals in emotional distress or crisis. These hotlines are staffed by trained professionals or volunteers who listen, offer guidance, and help callers find resources. They are available 24/7, ensuring that help is accessible at any time. Crisis hotlines can address various issues, including mental health challenges, suicidal thoughts, substance abuse, and domestic violence. Many hotlines are specific to certain demographics or issues, such as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline or Domestic Violence Hotline, providing tailored support to those in need.
