Resources for Support
If you feel you are in immediate danger or need emergency assistance, call 911 (U.S. or Canada) or your local law enforcement agency.
We’ve partnered with ThroughLine to connect you with a global network of over 1,300 helplines, offering real-time mental health and crisis support based on your location. Support is offered through phone, online chat or text.
To access support, simply select your location and refine support offerings across 24 topics and 15 specialties. You’ll then be provided with resources based on your location and topic.

We also encourage you to review our Safety Dating Tips. Remember — even if you follow these tips, no method of risk reduction is perfect. If you have a negative experience, please know that it is not your fault and help is available. Report any incidents here, and consider reaching out to one of the resources below.
