Hi everyone!
Thanks to Markiplier's Charity Livestream, I was made aware of the Crisis Text Line's existence. I have updated the Find Help Now page with info on how to contact them.
The Crisis Text Line allows US residents to text the number 741741 during a crisis. This is always anonymous. If your carrier is AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, or Verizon, these texts will be free of charge and will not show up on any phone bills. (Other carriers may charge and show the shortcode on bills.)
For more information, visit their FAQ page right here.
While they are US only at this time, they're planning on expanding to offering the service in other countries.
Know of any text crisis lines in other countries? Let me know so I can update our page!
