If you are in-crisis or having thoughts of suicide, the Pride Against Prejudice project has a list of resources to help you. While the project is aimed towards suicide prevention in LGBTQ youth, most of the resources listed are applicable to everyone.
NOTE: Police in the USA are not trained to deal with mental health issues or these type of crisis situations, so we recommend you only involve them as a last resort!
