Monthly Texter Testimonial

- Anonymous Texter
A note from our CEO, Dena Trujillo, to our amazing Empathy Network community:
As we step into a new year, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your incredible and steadfast support. Because of you, every single month, we’re fostering mental health resilience and having life-changing conversations with texters who turn to us during their most vulnerable moments.
Your monthly contribution is so much more than a donation—it’s a commitment to hope, compassion, and action. It allows Crisis Text Line to sustain and grow our vital programming, ensuring that anyone, anywhere, can access the support they need, 24/7.
You are a driving force behind the way the world views and supports mental health, and together, we are breaking down barriers, one conversation at a time.
Thank you for being an integral part of this journey. Here's to a year filled with impact, resilience, and hope—all made possible by you.
With gratitude,
Dena

Happy Earth Day!
As Earth Day was celebrated on April 22nd, we wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the importance of caring for our planet. With this shared responsibility, it can often seem overwhelming when we think about the challenges associated with maintaining a healthy planet, including the many factors that impact climate change. As a result, it’s not uncommon for feelings related to climate anxiety to arise. We invite you to learn more about what climate anxiety is, the signs & symptoms of it, and the coping strategies and resources available.

Mental Health Awareness Month is Almost Here!
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and this year your support is needed now more than ever. Our campaign this year, It Starts with One Text, will be launching on May 1st with the goal of receiving enough donations to address the threat of losing critical federal funding that makes it possible for us to provide our life-saving service. Your contributions can help ensure that people in crisis continue to have free, 24/7 access to confidential support via text message.
Your generosity will directly impact lives, allowing individuals to continue to find hope and healing when they need it most. Join us in making a difference!

Volunteer Appreciation Month is an opportunity to celebrate the incredible people in the Crisis Text Line volunteer community who selflessly dedicate their time and energy to supporting those facing mental health crises. It’s a chance for us to pause and recognize our remarkable volunteer Crisis Counselors—thanking them for their unwavering commitment and deep compassion. Their tireless efforts and empathy offer the hope and strength our texters need during their most difficult times.

Submit Your Mental Health Journey
As a valued member of our community, we want to invite you to share your personal experiences with mental health—whether it’s a journey you’ve been on, challenges you’ve faced, or how you’ve found strength in difficult times. Your story, no matter how big or small, has the power to inspire others. When others hear authentic experiences like yours, they are more likely to feel connected to our mission.
Your story/video, if selected, will be shared in one of our upcoming campaigns to help bring awareness to others and to show individuals who might be struggling out there that we all encounter mental health obstacles and they are not alone.
If you’d like to participate, please review the video brief here, which contains more detailed information about this opportunity as well as how to upload your video.
