What happens when someone calls a suicide hotline?

It get hanged up

I have never called a suicide hotline but I imagine they will ask you what's happened why you feel that way and then try to make you feel better or give you free therapy.

They ask your name and why you are calling. They help you work out your problems. They are supper kind and just want to help you feel better. They will talk with you for as long you need even if it is for over an hour. Overall, they want to help you and will give you advice on your problems.

There is nothing to worry about if you ring a suicide hotline. There are professionals there to help you. They genuinely care and won't judge you for what you're going through.

well i think it very much depends on the age of the caller, where in the world you are and on the policy of a particular hotline. In hotlines for under 19s it is common practice for them to say that they will contact someone if they feel you are a danger to yourself or others. This is also the case for some adult hotlines. In general though suicide hotlines offer people space to express their feelings and problems and possibly discuss any possible solutions. Many suicide hotlines also signpost to other local services and resources

Someone picks up and basically tries to make you feel not suicidal anymore. I personally found it invalidating, but that's because I struggle with feeling like my feelings are valid. I've called twice.

You are put through to people who listen and talk to you,and are there to help through the night .They offer a excellent support networh and do not judge

it saves someone's life & it persuades them to never do something like that again & life is a great thing.

They will listen to you, learn about your situation, ask leading questions and will then tell you about mental health services in your area.

Depending on the suicide hotline, your call may be routed to a central location or, as in the case of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, your call may be answered by the center closest to you. When you call, you'll typically hear a message confirming the number you have reached and then on-hold music until someone can answer your call. Once your call is answered, a caring and trained person will listen to you, learn about your situation, ask questions and will then generally tell you about mental health services in your area. Services in your area can range from a mobile response team to a suicide prevention center staffed with counselors where you can be accommodated overnight.
