Text with a Crisis Counselor
If you’re in crisis and need immediate support, the Crisis Text Line provides 24-hour access to a trained crisis counselor over your phone. The program isn’t just for people contemplating self-harm, it’s for anyone who needs support dealing with intense emotional pain. Crisis counselors are trained volunteers so they offer emotional support, not medical advice.
The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) HelpLine offers free, nationwide peer support Monday through Friday from 10am-6pm EST. The hotline provides resource referrals and support to those living with mental illness, or caretakers of those with mental illness. To contact the NAME HelpLine, call 800-950-6264.
The Mental Health Coalition’s Resource Library contains a variety of mental health resources to learn more about mental health, help a loved one, learn coping skills and seek support.
