Find support

Some days are heavier than others. Whatever you are carrying today, you do not have to carry it alone.

I put this page together so you can find someone to talk to, wherever you are. If you are in danger right now, start with the emergency lines below.

This page is education, not medical care. A listing here is not an endorsement. It does not replace emergency care.

Grenada, you are on this page. I have not yet found a helpline for Grenada that I can verify, so I will not print a number I cannot confirm. I am still looking, and I will add it here the moment I do.

For now, if you are in danger, call your local emergency services. You can also search by country at findahelpline.com or find a centre at befrienders.org.
