The purpose of SuicideHotlines.net is to help keep suicide hotline listings on the internet as current as possible by helping other webmasters and web sites with the updating process.

Webmasters can now more easily link to the individual state pages or link them into frames on their own sites. Or copy, download or "save as" to get the numbers into your own site software.

The numbers are public information and no copyright is claimed on this site.

If you "save as" and open the pages with your own software, this should hopefully preserve the links. It is possible to copy and paste from your browser, but I have found that the links will be lost this way.

By providing a generic, text only version of the hotlines for other webmasters to save as into their own sites in order to ensure the most accurate list of suicide hotline phone numbers possible.

The state pages are plain with no identifying links except for the update form which is as plain as possible and opens in a new browser page.

Addresses of the Crisis Centers are not necessary for the callers and not included because many of the crisis centers are telephone services only, have post office boxes and do not wish for their addresses to be published.
