Mental health support should reach the people who need it most. That includes people who use screen readers, navigate with a keyboard, or need larger text. Here's our approach.
This site is designed to meet WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines — the internationally recognised standard for web accessibility. We test with screen readers, including NVDA on Windows and VoiceOver on macOS and iOS, and with keyboard-only navigation.
Meeting AA compliance is a floor, not a ceiling. Where we can do better — clearer language, more intuitive navigation, more forgiving form interactions — we try to.
Here's what accessibility looks like in this site, specifically:
The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is accessible by phone, text, or chat. If you can't use a digital form or chat window for any reason — technical or physical — you can always reach support directly.
Call or text 988 from any phone. No internet required. No account needed. A trained counsellor answers 24 hours a day.
If you're struggling to use this site for any accessibility-related reason and need to complete an intake or find a care navigator, you can also call us directly at (555) 010-0100. A care navigator can complete the intake with you by phone.
We test and support the latest two major versions of the following browsers:
The site is responsive and works on screens from mobile phones to large desktop monitors. If something breaks on your device or browser, let us know — that's a bug, not a feature.
If something doesn't work for you — a page element you can't reach by keyboard, a colour combination you can't read, a form interaction that doesn't behave as expected — we want to know.
Email hello@example.com and describe what you were trying to do, what you tried, and what happened instead. We respond within 2 business days and aim to have fixes in place within 10.
You won't be redirected to a general feedback form. Your email goes to a person.
Call or text 988 — the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Free, confidential, available 24/7.
