Crisis Text Line

What Is Crisis Text Line? Crisis Text Line provides support at your fingertips, 24/7. It is a free, confidential service available via text on mobile devices. Crisis Text Line is more than just a suicide prevention service, it’s a way for anyone to be helped through a difficult moment via a texting conversation--no matter how big or small the crisis may seem. By texting the keyword “4hope” to the number 741741, anyone can text with a trained Crisis Counselor and receive assistance. Crisis Text Line is another tool in the toolbox and another addition to the options available through current community crisis hotlines.

Instructions for the Crisis Text Line

  1. Text 4HOPE to 741741 anytime, day or night, about any type of crisis.
  2. A live, trained Crisis Counselor will respond to you within 5 minutes. 
  3. The Crisis Counselor will help you move from a hot moment to a cool, calm one.
