Crisis doesn’t just mean thinking about ending your own life--it’s any painful emotion and anytime you need support. Connect with a trained crisis counselor to receive free, 24/7 crisis support via text message. 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 or long-term support, and sometimes it just means being there and listening. A conversation usually lasts anywhere from 15-45 minutes. This text-line is operated by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI).
