If you need help now

If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call your local emergency number (911 in most of the Americas, 112 in Europe).

Covalent is peer support, not therapy or an emergency service, and nobody watches the chat around the clock. The lines below are free and staffed by trained people who will listen.
