Crisis Text Line

In crisis? Text STEVE to 741741 for support 24/7.

You are not alone. Everyone feels stress and overwhelmed sometimes. Talking with a trusted loved one or counselor can help. If you or a person you know needs support, text STEVE to 741741 anytime and talk with a trained crisis counselor. ​ 

Text messaging is a part of our strategy to address the unmet mental health needs of college and university students, including those from underserved and under-resourced communities.​ Through our partnership with the Crisis Text Line, the Steve Fund promotes text messaging as a means to improve the critically needed access for young people of color to crisis counseling.

Speak Out and Share with Your Network

If you or someone you know is feeling stressed, depressed, or anxious, please know that you can always text STEVE to 741741 to connect with a trained crisis counselor 24/7.
