If You're In Crisis Right Now

What To Do

If you are in immediate crisis: dial 1-888-639-5433 (1-888-NEW-LIFE) for Jamaica's 24-hour mental-health and suicide-prevention line, free from any phone. If you or someone near you is in medical danger, dial 110 for an ambulance. Go to your nearest hospital emergency department and tell the triage nurse you need psychiatric help. Tell one person you trust what is happening. None of these lines charge and you are not alone — help is real, available, and free at the point of access.
