About Maranatha
Maranatha is not a crisis service. Our volunteers read messages during ordinary hours and cannot respond in real time, so please do not rely on a form here in an emergency. The people at the numbers above are trained to help and are available now.
If you are outside the United States, please contact your local emergency number or find a local helpline at findahelpline.com.
These numbers are reviewed periodically. If one does not work, please tell us.
