List of suicide crisis lines
Updated: 5/20/2026, 7:09:58 PM Wikipedia source
Suicide crisis lines can be found in many countries worldwide. Many are geared to a general audience, while others are specific to a select demographic, such as LGBTQ+ youth. One of the first suicide crisis lines was the Samaritans, founded in the United Kingdom in 1953 by Chad Varah, the then Rector of the former St. Stephen's Church in London. He decided to start a "listening service" after reading a sermon at the grave of a 14-year-old girl who had died by suicide. She was in distress before her death and had no one to talk to.
