At VitaDocs, we want to help our members when they need it the most. We have compiled a list of crisis resources, hotlines, and web sites that may be of help if you or someone you know may be in trouble. This list is not a complete list and VitaDocs does not endorse these services. If you think you need immediate help and cannot speak to a family member, a medical professional, or a member of the clergy, please reach out to one of these organizations or dial 911 immediately.

We have listed information below about suicide and domestic abuse addiction, elder care, missing children, and volunteering services.
