You are not alone, and help is available 24/7.
This page lists independent organisations that provide crisis, health and advocacy support. FAN-X does not run these services, is not told when you contact them, and receives nothing from them. They are listed because working in this industry should not mean facing a crisis without a number to call.
If you are in immediate danger, call emergency services first.
