Crisis Text Line provides free, 24/7, confidential text-based mental health support in English and Spanish by empowering a community of trained volunteers to support people in their moments of need.
Crisis Text Line is a safe and supportive place for sharing information, inspiring others and building conversation without judgment. We always strive to share content that resonates with our community and brings value. Please know that we take your feedback seriously with the intention of improving our service.
Along with our JEDI (Justice-Equity-Diversity-Inclusion) team, we are committed to fostering belonging, removing structural inequities, elevating diverse creativity and innovation and empowering everyone to do their best work.
To that end, we ask that you follow our community guidelines when engaging on our social media pages, to foster the kind of safety and support that Crisis Text Line seeks to provide. Please note that these guidelines briefly summarize only Crisis Text Line’s expectations – they do not replace or supersede the social media platform’s terms of service or other applicable rules.
