We are not a 24-hour helpline. We are not trained professionals. TWLOHA hopes to serve as a bridge to help.
If this is an emergency, or if you are worried that you or someone you know may be at risk for suicide, please call your local authorities (911), contact a mental health professional, or call and talk to someone at 1-800-SUICIDE.

Part of our mission at TWLOHA is to connect people to treatment. The resources listed here are just a few of the many great ones available. While we believe in the power and efficacy of treatment, you are responsible for interviewing and selecting the provider. As TWLOHA does not provide treatment services, TWLOHA cannot accept responsibility for any of the services provided by these or any other providers.
