Can i call a suicide prevention hotline from home without my parents finding out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Suicide prevention hotlines are confidential. They are to counsel you on the depression you feel. However, if you need medical/psychiatric treatment (including professional counseling), that doctor will have to notify your parents if you're under 18 and not emancipated.
