Partial List of Resources
I'm going to start with suicide prevention, education, and support because dealing with that issue is the most immediately life threatening and vastly devastating condition.
Most people know about theNational Suicide Prevention Hotline. 1-800-273-8255
But did you know they also have a text option?
You just text the word "Start" to 741-741
Also, they have on online chat option on their website, and links for specific populations like Youth, Disaster Survivors, Native Americans, Verterans, Loss Survivors, LQBTQ+Attempt Survivors, Deaf or Hard of Hearing, or (Ayuda En Español)Spanish Translation.
HERE:
Another online chat option with trained crisis staff can be found at:

And if you have lost someone, are concerned about someone, or an attempt survivor yourself:
you can also find links to specific support at The American Suicide Prevention Foundation.
Another thing I found is the project over at Live Through This. There you can read interviews with attempt survivors.
Their message to anyone considering suicide is "Please Stay".
The National Institute of Mental Health has the latest information, research and links to finding help.
NAMI- The National Alliance on Mental Illness is all about education, support, and advocacy for the Mentally Ill. You can type in your state and find out what's available in your area.
