Crisis Support

If you’re struggling or in crisis, you are not alone—and help is available right now.

Psych Tomato is all about learning and understanding psychology, but we’re not equipped to provide emergency support or personal mental health care.

If you or someone you know needs immediate help, please reach out to a professional or trusted resource below.

If You’re in Immediate Danger

If you are having suicidal thoughts, call 988 to speak with someone at the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

If you or a loved one are in immediate danger or need urgent help, call 911 or your local emergency number right away.
