Crisis chat support is available internationally at https://www.veteranscrisisline.net/get-help-now/chat/

If calling outside of the United States, Canada, or Mexico and are off base you are responsible for long-distance international charges from your carrier, even if dialing a toll-free number. If you can’t reach VCL through phone dialing, our chat service is available online in all locations with an internet connection at https://www.veteranscrisisline.net.

U.S. short codes, such as 838255, only work if you are on a U.S.-based service provider with an international service plan that allows texting to U.S. short codes from outside the U.S. If you're unsure about your plan or have questions, contact your service provider's customer service for information on your plan and any additional charges. Note that even if your plan includes international texting, there may be limits on the number of texts you can send or receive. Check with your provider for details.
