Is there somewhere adults can speak to someone in times of crisis?

jigatone@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 125 points –

Something like that kids help phone thing but for adults. I'm specifically looking for a website I saw posted somewhere weeks ago, I don't remember the name, it was a free website where you could speak to someone - I don't believe it was necessarily professionals. Apologies if the info I have is inadequate and thanks in advance.
