Together, We Can Impact Mental Health Access and Policy
Crisis Text Line collaborates with the federal government, state governments and community stakeholders in order to advance and influence mental health policy and raise awareness about mental health and crisis intervention in service of our mission.
Government partnerships are essential to expand our impact by ensuring that communities nationwide have access to our services. By working with local, state, and federal agencies, we extend life-saving services, reach underserved populations, and strengthen public safety networks.

Every conversation is guided by trained volunteer Crisis Counselors and supported by clinical supervisors, delivering expert help when it’s needed most. Our partnerships are flexible and tailored, from keyword partnerships to local collaboration with local community based organizations, we design solutions that connect residents directly to support.
