Crisis Text Line

If you need to speak to someone after hours or on the weekend, consider the Crisis Text Line.

Crisis Text Line is free, 24/7 emotional support for those in crisis.

Crisis counselors practice active listening to help people in crisis move from a hot moment to a cool calm – all through a medium they know and trust: text.

It’s simple, here is what you do:

Text “START” to 741-741

For students of color who wish to speak to a counselor of color:

Text “STEVE” to 741-741
