Crisis Hotlines
This page gives contact information for help lines. If things come up which are too difficult to handle, you should take a break from the course and seek the help of a good counselor or therapist (see If You React Strongly for guidance about whether to take a break or not). If you should need immediate help, dial 911 or 988.
Most of the resources below are for residents of the United States. If you do not have access to U.S. phone numbers, see International Hotlines.
