We work to prevent suicidal deaths by reducing the stigma of suicide and increasing awareness and support for people in crisis all over the world. Our mission is to help create a world where quality suicide prevention support is available, accepted, and encouraged for all - to prevent deaths by suicide. Our network includes 26 Members operating in 23 countries and every region, across high-, middle- and low-income nations. We work with our members to ensure more crisis support suicide prevention resources are available in more places, with greater access and reduced barriers to those seeking help. We find collective ways to improve helpseekers’ access to crisis support, and support start-up crisis support services in high-need countries. Yet still nearly half a billion people live in countries without any access to free 24/7 crisis support, and where suicide remains a crime. The World Health Organisation recognises crisis support services such as LifeLine as an effective element in National Suicide Prevention strategies providing easily accessible community support service to those in need. Crisis lines play a critical role in the continuum of suicide prevention care. We ensure the daily life-saving work our Members deliver in crisis support is fully recognised, valued, and embraced by governments and stakeholders as more nations develop National Suicide Prevention strategies. We are also campaigning to change the law in countries where suicide remains a crime and other laws restrict access to such life-saving help. For more information on the various LifeLine Member Helplines across the world please visit our website. Talking about suicidality and suicide prevention is important but at times very difficult and can trigger a strong emotional response.
