The same for both: kind of help (an app i use on my own), probably not for (anyone in crisis: call or text 988), where (iphone, android), research (some research support), hipaa (not stated).

In crisis or thinking about suicide? In the US, call or text 988. This page is information from our reviews, not medical advice.
