About
NYC's completely confidential 24-hour suicide hotline provides a safe alternative to clinical services for the underserved and those resistant to seeking help, making it a popular choice for people in distress who are seeking emotional support. In 2017, the hotline responded to 103,660 contacts, 75,693 of them calls from people in crisis, those concerned about someone else or those seeking the keys to effective suicide prevention. In 2017, this free hotline service was staffed by 105 volunteers from NYC's culturally diverse communities who donated close to 30,000 hours in support of our programs, about 250 hours of service per volunteer (equivalent to one-and-a-half months of full time work each, totaling an estimated 750,000 in free donated labor).
