If you are in danger call 911.
- 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: call or text 988 at any time.

These are United States lines. In the app, the Get help now button opens support lines for your country.
Is SOS an emergency service?
You are not alone. SOS is not an emergency service. Call or text 988 at any time to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. You can also text HOME to 741741 to reach the Crisis Text Line. If you are in danger right now, call 911.
What SOS can and cannot do
SOS is not a crisis or emergency service. It cannot monitor how you are doing or respond to an emergency.
Staff do not watch your entries as you write them. Reports about posts are reviewed by people, not in real time.
In an emergency
In the United States, call 911. Elsewhere, call your local emergency number.
The Get help now button shows crisis lines for your country. SOS Mode has calming tools with the lines at the top. Neither needs an account.
What the wellness tools are for
The mental health, emotional wellness and recovery tools in SOS are general educational support for times when you are not in crisis.
They do not replace crisis services, emergency care or professional treatment.
