Txt4Help

TXT4HELP works anywhere in the US, and extends access to safety for teens. TXT4HELP can be used for the same reason a young person may go to a Safe Place site – abuse, bullying, family problems, depression, suicidal thoughts, and others. TXT4HELP counselors can provide support via text, and can offer additional suggestions for immediate help regardless of where you are.

  • Here’s how it works:
  • Text the word “safe” and your current location (address, city, state) to 4HELP (44357).
  • Within seconds, you will receive a message with the closest Safe Place site and phone number for the local youth agency.
  • For immediate help, reply with “2chat” to text interactively with a trained counselor.

It’s quick, easy, safe, and confidential. TXT4HELP is a free service offered to all youth in crisis.
