Text & Chat Crisis Support (Global)
Text & Chat Crisis Support (Global)
This page is for people who may find it easier, safer, or more accessible to reach support by text, SMS, online chat, or messaging instead of making a phone call.
Text and chat support can be especially helpful when speaking out loud feels difficult, privacy is limited, communication needs are different, or someone needs a quieter way to ask for help.

Why Text or Chat Support Can Help
Text and chat options can make crisis support more accessible for people who cannot safely speak out loud, feel overwhelmed by phone calls, need time to type, or prefer a quieter way to communicate.
These pathways can also support people with communication differences, anxiety around phone calls, privacy concerns, or limited access to a quiet space.
