First Things First
- Thanks for reaching out to TeenCentral and expressing your need for help. It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help.
- You said you have received care before, but I wanted to give you another resource. Crisis Textline Available 24/7 Support to all individuals in crisis. Text “HOME” to 741741 www.crisistextline.org
It’s important to know that if your crisis gets so big that you feel you just can’t take it anymore….
PLEASE CALL theNational Suicide Hotline
Available 24/7 – In order to reach the National Suicide Hotline you DIAL or TEXT 988 – or CHAT at 988lifeline.org.
- When you received services from the last place, was there ANYTHING helpful there? TRY to think if there was ANYTHING that made you feel better? Were there any activities that you did or a person you interacted with that you noticed made a positive impact on you? Any time you’ve been through a crisis it’s important to think through the things that DID work so that you can tell your parents and other people what has been helpful to, as much as what has not worked. Write them down in a journal. These things will help you learn how to identify what’s causing your crises and how to reduce them – and eventually, eliminate them. For today – The resource you are asking about can be found on their website. Just do a basic google search. When you get there find the services search and then find the service that is closest to where you live. There are phone numbers on the website.
