Support

AskAncients is a place to reflect. It is not crisis care, and it is not a substitute for a person. If what you are carrying is heavier than that, the people below are available now.

If you are in immediate danger

Call 911, or go to your nearest emergency room. If you are outside the US, call your local emergency number.

If one of these fits your situation better

Some of these are staffed by people who share your situation, which can matter more than anything else on this page.

What we do and don't do with what you write

Nothing you write in AskAncients is reported to your school, your programme or your employer. Individual reflections stay yours. Institutions using AskAncients see de-identified group trends and nothing else — never an individual, and never a disclosure.

We also do not monitor you. When the app recognises something serious in the moment, it stops and shows you this list. That is the whole of it: no watching, no flagging, no file.

Every number on this page was checked against the organisation's own website on . If you find one that is wrong or out of date, please tell us — it is the most useful bug report we can receive.
