This page is a list of hotlines for queer youth, sorted by country. Note that wait times can be extremely long, especially considering the impact that COVID-19 has had on the service industry. Please be nice to the people working on these lines, as most of them are volunteers who are here to help you :)
If you're in a situation where you and/or someone else is at risk of being hurt, please contact your local emergency services (112 from any mobile phone).
