Help gathering international helpline and resources

We are updating the helpline/resources section on the site update. @Walker has spent a huge amount of time going through google checking numbers and compiling resources but many people are familiar with help and crisis lines in their own countries/areas that may not be so easy to find on the internet for people from other areas.
Any members could share in this thread phone / text / email helpline or crisis support / suicide support resources for their own country or area just to cross reference then would be appreciated. @Walker is already deep diving the internet so no need to redo that work - but for your own country or area that you are 100% certain are up to date and accurate it would be helpful. Only public/non profits/ or govt affiliated please. No private sites, church or religious affiliated organizations, and no connection to anything that has fees or "voluntary donations for use" in any way.

This will be used simply to cross reference the lists we are compiling and double checking info.

Thanks!!

(bigger places like US, UK are pretty well covered already- this is particularly useful for countries that we do not have as many members from and smaller places that are harder to find info on)

I have NO idea why I picked this to start with. I'm on page 13 of just the crisis numbers now with a big emphasis on the places we get a lot of people from (CAN / US / UK / AUS) and then a random series of stuff from everywhere else. Anything I could cross check at least twice (and preferably three times). So, if anyone ever finds themselves suddenly not feeling like themselves in Zimbabwe or Algeria, we've got you covered.

I looked through that list you posted, @Kira It was from 2017 so I figure that was pretty current. I think I had a few of those, nixed one for a broken link and added 2 or 3. I don't know what I'm DOING with them yet but they're getting there. Thanks a lot.

Here's a Finnish crisis hotline site. There's an option for an English version of the site in the upper left. The English version is set up a little differently from the Finnish language one, the range of services in English is different, probably more limited.

https://www.mielenterveysseura.fi/fi/tukea-ja-apua/kriisipuhelin-apua-elämän-kriiseihin

If you're having trouble figuring out which is the number and other stuff in the Finnish language version, I can help, even though my communication skills in Finnish are at the Tarzan level.

Thank you @Fleurise I've got many many pages of new links and numbers from last year but we've yet to put them up. Need all the help we can get for really great places outside the US for when we get around to doing that. I appreciate it.
