    • Your Life, Your Voice

      Your Life, Your Voice is part of the Boys Town National Hotline. It provides youth in crisis with the option of calling, emailing, texting, or chatting with a trained counselor.

      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.
