    Help Lines for Educators

    • National Suicide Prevention

The Lifeline’s national network of local crisis centers provide crisis counseling and mental health referrals day and night.  1-800-273-8255.

    • Crisis Text Line

      Text “START” to 741-741 to text with a crisis counselor. The Crisis Text Line is similar to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and other hotlines, but allows those in crisis to text in rather than call. It operates 24 hours a day.

    Tips for Educators

    • How to Help Someone Online

      From time to time you may encounter a person who is expressing thoughts of suicide on your social media sites. If someone you know online is showing any of these warning signs, it is important that you post a message encouraging them to call the Lifeline. If you are friends with the person in real life or know where the person is, please call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) so that you can talk to a crisis counselor.
