Holidays can be tough for individuals for a variety of reasons. If you find yourself needing a listening ear that won't be sitting around your family dinner table, reach out to 988. This free, confidential service isn't just for those in crisis. You can reach out to 988 any time.
For a listening ear not around the dinner table, reach out to 988. Suicide and Crisis Lifeline Missouri.
