| Are you experiencing a crisis right now?
- Are you contemplating suicide? homicide?
- Are you emotionally "at the end or your rope?"
- You don't know what to do?

Then you need to ask for help
Take at least one of these steps immediately:
- Call your local crisis line. Most cities have a 24 hour crisis line. The phone number is usually listed in the telephone book on the inside front cover. If you don't have a phone book, call the operator and ask to be connected to the crisis line. Or find a crisis line that is near you.
- Call 999 (UK) 911 (USA) Available in most areas to reach police or ambulance.
- Call a trusted friend or relative... ask them to talk with you or come over right away.

Because of the delays associated with the use of e-mail, Changing Lives Online Counselling Service cannot act as a crisis centre. If you experience an emotional crisis (intense feelings of distress), emergency or life threatening situation, or any other crisis during the course of your treatment, merely sending a secure e-mail message to your counsellor at Changing Lives Online Counselling Service is not appropriate. Changing Lives Online Counselling Service's counsellors are expected to check for incoming PrivacEmail messages only once per day (Monday through Friday, excluding English statutory holidays).
Rather than turning to Changing Lives Online Counselling Service's online counsellors to help you manage intense feelings of distress, emergencies or life threatening situations, or an emotional crisis, we suggest you take the actions described on this "Managing a Crisis" web page.
If a crisis occurs, you must manage the crisis by using resources other than those offered by Changing Lives Online Counselling Service.
