HOTLINES AND CHARITIES

Find my complete list of mental health hotlines here.

Suicide Prevention Hotline – They have a phone number you can call (1-800-273-8255), information on their website about suicide prevention, or a text/chat line if you are more comfortable talking to someone over text.

The Trevor Project – A mental health organization dedicated to providing crisis prevention to LGBTQ+ youth.

Active Minds – A mental health organization dedicated to raising awareness for mental health in college students. They offer internships for college students who want to make a difference in their college community.

NAMI The National Alliance on Mental Illness is a great resource to get information on different mental health illnesses, how to get help, support groups, advocacy, and more!

NEDA – National Eating Disorder Association is dedicated to helping individuals and families affected by eating disorders. They want to raise awareness and advocacy around eating disorders so we can find cures and more people can get the help they need.

 

THERAPY AND SERVICES

BetterHelp – BetterHelp is a great alternative if you don’t have a lot of money to spend on therapy. BetterHelp connects you with a therapist that fits your personal needs that you can have 24/7 access to from your computer, smartphone, or tablet.

Talkspace – Talkspace is another online therapy service. Just take a quick survey and they will match you with a personalized therapist that is licensed in your state. Message your therapist from the palm of your hand anytime you need support. Use code “KRISTEN” for $45 your first month of therapy!

PsychologyToday – This was the website that lead me to my most recent counselors. It allows you to choose exactly what you want in a therapist and shows you therapists in your area that fit for criteria.

Blahtherapy – Free confidential chat with licensed professional and listeners.

7 Cups of Tea – Free confidential chat with licensed professional and trained listeners. This was one of the first sites I ever used and I found it extremely helpful when I was a teenager.
