Local helplines

Urgent mental health helplines are available for people of all ages in Minnesota.

National helplines

988 has been designated as the new three-digit dialing code that will route callers to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. When people call, text, or chat 988, they will be connected to trained counselors.

The Crisis Text Line connects you with a live, trained Crisis Counselor.

Call 911 or go the ER now if:
  • someone's life is at risk - for example they have seriously injured themselves or taken an overdose
  • you do not feel you can keep yourself or someone else safe

A mental health emergency should be taken as seriously as a physical one. You will not be wasting anyone's time.
