Which of the following is a function of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline?

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline serves a crucial role in providing immediate support to individuals in distress. Its primary function is to offer 24-hour suicide prevention support, helping those who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts or crises. This service is staffed by trained counselors who can provide emotional support, crisis intervention, and guidance on resources available for ongoing support.

While providing direct counseling for addiction, offering legal advice, or financial assistance for mental health treatments are essential services in the mental health and support system, they do not fall under the primary mission of the Lifeline. The Lifeline specifically focuses on suicide prevention and immediate emotional support, making its 24-hour availability critical for individuals needing help in moments of crisis.
