NYS/Crisis Text Line Partnership

A crisis can happen at any time. And it isn’t always a life-threatening situation.

Maybe you’re stressed about school, work, family or your housing situation? Maybe you’re a new parent and are overwhelmed?

There’s a new way to reach out.

New York State has partnered with Crisis Text Line, an anonymous texting service available 24/7. Starting a conversation is easy. Text GOT5 to 741741 or Got5U to 741741 if you’re a college student. We’ve got time to talk.


Marketing Toolkits

Help us get the word out! We’ve created a Crisis Text Line Marketing Toolkit to make it easy. Download graphics to create posters, brochures, or informational materials about Crisis Text Line

Use them in schools, colleges and universities, patient handouts, clinic waiting rooms or whatever makes sense for you.
