What suicide hotlines can a 16(soon 17) year old join ?
What suicide hotlines can I join as a 16 year old? (Turning 17 in late-march) I am bilingual, I speak both french and english. This expands my reach of possible organisations out to canada (that being said, I'd personally want to avoid France because I'm rather disconnected from french/european culture as an American migrant). I know that there are some organisations out there that do provide opportunities for 16 year olds. After a ton of searching(like a month worth), I have only found 2 that I can actually join: https://samaritanshope.org/our-services/hey-sam/volunteer-with-hey-sam/ https://calyouth.org/ I have applied to both but I'd still like to apply to more just in case. Every organisation out there either doesn't accept 16 year olds, or doesn't provide online tutoring/work. It has been so incredibly unsatisfying to find an organisation that had a low minimum age bar yet was located on the other side of the US. If it helps, I live in San Fransisco. So the only possibilities are: 1. Organisation that's very close to SF and does accept people of my age(I looked through all of them as far as I know) 2. Organisation that offers online training and work for people of my age either in US or Canada(More likely)
