Where To Get Help

Whether you need help for yourself or your friend, it is always good to find an adult that you trust that can help guide you through this time. This trusted adult should not only be there to help you find help, but has a more important job of a supporter for you. Even if you are unsure if your friend or yourself is depressed or suicidal, it is still important to get help.

In Hawaii, for immediate help, please contact Hawaii CARES 24/7 Crisis Line:
