Emergency guides
Something just happened.
If anyone is in danger now, call 911 in the US or 999 in the UK. If you are thinking about ending your life, call or text 988 in the US, or call Samaritans on 116 123 in the UK.
Find the line that sounds like you. Each guide says what to do today, which deadlines may have started, who to call and what to say.
