Support lines
Porcupine can help with the words. When you need more than that, these services are free and confidential, and they’re there any time.
If you’re in danger right now
- Call 911.
If someone is hurting, scaring or controlling you
- In the US: the National Domestic Violence Hotline, 1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788.
- In Canada: find a shelter or support line near you at sheltersafe.ca.
If you’re thinking about suicide or hurting yourself
- Call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, in the US and Canada.
If it’s all feeling like too much
- Call or text 988. It’s for anyone in distress, not only a crisis.
- Talking it over with someone you trust can help too.
Porcupine isn’t a crisis service, and it doesn’t see anything you share with these services.
