Crisis Text Line provides free, confidential crisis support any time, connecting people in distress with trained volunteer crisis counselors by text, chat, and other channels. When someone is struggling, whether with overwhelming stress, a painful loss, or a mental health crisis, they can reach a real, caring human who will listen and help them move from a hot moment to a calmer one. Support is available around the clock and is designed to meet people where they are, in the medium many find easiest to use. It is a vital resource for anyone who needs help now and may not be ready or able to make a phone call. If you or someone you know is going through a crisis, this service can make an enormous difference. Learn how to reach a counselor, and how to volunteer, at crisistextline.org. This is a sensitive area, and if you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services right away.
