Lesson Overview

2.16 – Crisis Text Lines, Hotlines, and When to Use Them: Crisis hotlines exist for the moments you cannot manage alone. They connect you with trained listeners 24/7 who understand emotional emergencies. You don’t need to have a full plan or know what to say; silence, tears, or a few words are enough. Text lines are helpful if speaking feels too hard or unsafe. Using them is an act of bravery, not weakness. Hotlines can guide you toward calm, connect you to local resources, or just help you breathe again. Save numbers like 988 or 741741 in your phone before you need them. If one line is busy, another will answer—keep trying. People on the other end truly want to help you stay alive. They won’t judge or punish; they listen and guide. Reaching out teaches your brain that help brings relief faster than harm. The more you use support systems, the more natural it becomes to reach for them first. You deserve immediate help whenever danger rises.
