About:

The Crisis Text Line is just that! A place you can text if you’re in crisis; if you’re feeling painful emotions and need some support. Just start your first text with ‘HELLO’

It usually takes less than five minutes to connect you with a Crisis Counselor. (It may take longer during high-traffic times).

When you’ve reached a Crisis Counselor, they’ll introduce themselves, reflect on what you’ve said, and invite you to share at your own pace.

The goal of any conversation is to get you to a calm, safe place.

Sometimes that means providing you with a referral to further help, and sometimes it just means being there and listening. A conversation usually lasts anywhere from 15-45 minutes.
