Global Suicide Hotline Resources
If you have thoughts of suicide or self-harm, please contact a suicide hotline. If a number is not listed for your country, please contact your local law enforcement.
If you're concerned about a friend, please encourage the person to contact a hotline. You can also contact local law enforcement and ask for a "Wellness Check" on your friend. A listing of local law enforcement numbers can be found at https:travel.lstate.gov/content/dam/students-abroad/pdfs/911_ABROAD.pdf
