We have a list of crisis hotline numbers here:

We would not have an emergency or crisis forum here, because I don't believe we're the best place for a person to go when a person is in need. What if someone posted to such a forum and no one answered? How would that make a person feel??

I'm also sorry to say, but for chatting, the chat rooms were created for just that purpose. I'm loathe to create another method for people to chat just because the chat rooms are not accessible to all at all times (at work, or for whatever reasons). PM, as mentioned, is one realistic option for now.

Best,
