Samaritans Call 0800 726 666. Samaritans offer confidential, non-religious and non-judgmental support to anyone who may be feeling depressed, lonely, or even be contemplating suicide.
Lifeline 0800 543 354 (0800 LIFELINE). Lifeline trained counsellors deal with many kinds of issues, including psychological and emotional distress, financial and work issues, marriage and family/whānau problems, and callers who are lonely, ill, depressed, or the victims of violence or abuse.
A safety plan helps the distressed person understand that they have more control over their feelings and thoughts. That there are things they can do that can help balance their thoughts of suicide or self-harm. That there can be a positive future for them, and that there are people from many parts of their lives who can help them keep safe along the journey.
