HELP LINE
If you or someone you know needs immediate medical or psychological attention call 911 or the Veterans Crisis Line at: 1-800-273-8255.
If you speak another language, call the main line and wait to be connected to a person at a local crisis center who can connect with a translator. According to Lifeline's website, the crisis centers work with a service that can translate calls in over 150 languages.
People who are deaf or hard of hearing can reach Lifeline via TTY by dialing 1-800-799-4889 or use the Lifeline Live Chat service online.
After dialing 1-800-273-8255, you will hear the following automated message:
"You have reached the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, also servicing the Veterans service line. If you are in emotional distress or suicidal crisis or are concerned about someone who might be, we're here to help. Please remain on the line while we route your call to the nearest crisis center in our network."
Some of the experiences Marines have faced bravely during their service or in civilian life have lasting effects. There is no shame in reaching out for help.
Make the call: 1-800-273-8255
