Arizona Mental Health Hotline
Free, confidential support for Arizona residents — available 24/7.
⚠ Safety Notice
If you or someone you love is in immediate danger, call 911.
If you’re having thoughts of suicide or are in emotional crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. In Arizona, 988 routes to the statewide crisis line based on your area code.
The Mental Health Hotline offers support and resources and is not a substitute for emergency services.
When you’re dealing with the consequences of a mental illness, talking with someone who is empathetic and understanding can bring immediate relief. But the fear of other people’s misconceptions and judgments can stop you from reaching out at your lowest moments.
Mental health issues don’t reflect weakness. They’re part of what millions of Americans deal with every day. At the Mental Health Hotline, we know that anyone facing mental health concerns deserves understanding and real options. That’s why we’ve put together this list of Arizona mental health hotlines, so you can find a confidential, non-judgmental place to talk through what’s going on. Call 866-903-3787 if you’d like help sorting through them.

What is an Arizona crisis line?
A crisis line, also called a hotline or helpline, is a dedicated resource that provides immediate assistance and support to anyone experiencing a mental health crisis, emotional distress, suicidal thoughts or another urgent situation. Arizona’s crisis lines, including 988 and the statewide line operated by Solari, are staffed around the clock by crisis specialists who can talk through what’s happening and arrange further help.
The Mental Health Hotline works differently. It is not a crisis line and not a substitute for 911 or 988. It is a free number you can call 24/7 to get your questions answered and find mental health resources in your area, whether that’s for yourself or someone you love.
Do I need to use an Arizona hotline?
Calling a helpline has several advantages, and it is one of the fastest ways to get support, information and assistance when you are in distress. Here are some reasons to use one:
24/7 accessibility
Helplines provide a readily accessible means of support, often available 24/7. That matters most when you need help outside regular business hours.
Confidentiality
Helplines let Arizona residents seek help while staying anonymous. That can be especially valuable if you’re hesitant or uncomfortable discussing your situation face-to-face.
Specialized support
Hotlines can offer support tailored to a specific issue, such as mental health, substance use, domestic violence or acute crisis. That focus means the guidance you get fits the situation you’re actually in.
Immediate assistance
Helplines often provide help right away, which can be critical in a crisis. Crisis specialists on Arizona’s lines can work to de-escalate a situation and arrange the next step.
Remote support
Helplines bridge geographical barriers, so people in rural or underserved parts of Arizona can reach services that may not exist locally.
