  • In September 2015, an image began circulating via social media, stating that teens could text 741741 in order to speak with a crisis counselor. Many were skeptical about the program, since the organization behind it was not identified in the image. Nonetheless, 741741 is indeed the number for the Crisis Text Line in the United States and Canada. Although the image specified teens, the number is available to anyone in crisis: The Crisis Text Line also notes in their FAQ that all text messages are anonymous and free, although charges may apply with carriers other than AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, or Verizon. In a June 2015 article published by the Chicago Tribune, Nancy Lublin, the CEO of DoSomething.org, explained why she founded the Crisis Text Line: The service is available 24 hours a day in the United States and Canada.
