(As well as the equally valuable Crisis Chat ( CrisisChat - Home )).

Doc John, what an honor to have you here
When I said new it was new to me and Kati Morton just started telling people about it. I had never heard of a texting crisis line. I think they all are wonderful and any resource we can talk about may help someone who thinks like I do and not be aware of other options. Reb569 had a good point since more people are using social media that this may actually be a more comfortable situation for todays young people. Thanks for chiming in on this.
