TSPN maintains the Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Services Statewide Directory and Resource Information Guide. It provides essential guidance on what to look for, when to act, and who to contact for the various situations factoring into a suicide crisis. It also features specific information on high-risk population groups, the programs and coalitions working to prevent suicide in Tennessee, and the laws and policies governing our state's suicide prevention efforts.
TSPN is one of several local and statewide agencies that contribute to the annual update of this directory. If you see contact points in this document that need updating, or you would like to recommend a resource for inclusion, notify TSPN's central office at
tspn@tspn.org.
988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline
The Lifeline is a free 24/7, confidential, short-term crisis counseling line for those experiencing distress. It is a myth that 988 is only for suicidal individuals; it is available to everyone. Call, text, or chat 988 if you are overwhelmed, stressed, and need to talk with a trained counselor.
This project is funded under a grant contract with the State of Tennessee, Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services.
