Wikipedia recognises Aasra as India's crisis line for suicide prevention http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_prevention_organizations List of suicide crisis lines From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from List of suicide prevention organizations) Suicide crisis lines can be found in many countries worldwide. Many are geared to a general audience while others are specific to a select demographic such as LGBT youth, Native American and Aboriginal Canadian youth. One of the first suicide crisis lines was the Samaritans, founded in the United Kingdom in 1953 by the Rev. Chad Varah, the then Rector of the former St. Stephen's Church in London. He decided to start a 'listening service' after reading a sermon at the grave of a 13-year-old girl who had committed suicide. She was in distress prior to her death and had no one to talk to.[1] There have been studies conducted in the United States[2] and Australia[3] which show that suicide crisis lines may reduce suicidality and effect improvements in the caller's mental state.
