Suicide and Crisis Prevention Hotlines

• 10111 and 10177 are the national emergency numbers for the police and ambulances in South Africa.

• The Triangle project (https://triangle.org.za/about/) provides a helpline where lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people can talk to a trained professional. The professional will ensure the caller's privacy and can also refer the caller to other support networks. It can be reached at (021) 712 6699 daily from 13:00 to 21:00. The counselor will then call you back.

• Suicide Crisis Line: Call 0800 567 567 or SMS 31393
