CRISIS TEXT LINE
Ohio has launched a new system enabling anyone in crisis to text for help. The program allows people to text “4hope” to 741741 and receive a response within five minutes from a trained crisis counselor. An algorithm reviews text for severity, and messages that are determined to be from someone at imminent risk are placed at the top of the queue.
Texters will not be charged if utilizing a cell phone plan through AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, or Verizon, and nothing will appear on a phone bill. If your plan is with another carrier, standard messaging rates apply, and the short code 741741 will appear on your billing statement.
Text “4hope” to 741741
The program is the result of a partnership between the national Crisis Text Line and the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS).
WARM LINE
The Warm Line is a confidential, consumer-run telephone service providing peer support, resource referrals, non-judgmental listening, and shared experiences of hope and recovery to anyone who calls. The Warm Line is perfect for those just needing someone to talk to who understands what they are going through.
