Suicide Prevention Lifeline Chat

Crisis & Suicide Support · Connecticut · Free

Free 24/7 online crisis chat at 988lifeline.org/chat — alternative to phone for those who prefer text-based support. Open to LGBTQ+ youth, adults, and elders facing any kind of acute distress — not only suicidal ideation. Chat and text options are available alongside phone for people who can't speak out loud safely. Trans crisis volume spikes around bathroom bills, election cycles, and family holidays — these lines staff up for surges. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
