XT 4 HELP works anywhere in the US, and extends access to safety for teens. TXT 4 HELP can be used for the same reason a young person may go to a Safe Place site - abuse, bullying, family problems, depression, suicidal thoughts, and others. TXT 4 HELP counselors can provide support via text and can offer additional suggestions for immediate help regardless of where you are.

Here's how it works:

• Text the word "safe" and your current location (address, city, state) to 4HELP (44357).
• Within seconds, you will receive a message with the closest Safe Place site and phone number for the local youth agency.
• For immediate help, reply with "2chat" to text interactively with a trained counselor.

It's quick, easy, safe, and confidential. TXT 4 HELP is a free service offered to all youth in crisis.
* Messaging/data rates apply.
* If there is not a Safe Place in your community, you will receive information on the closest youth service organization.
