Students are Provided with Free, Confidential Crisis Text Line

Coconut Telegraph

As part of the school district’s emphasis on mental and behavioral health, Sarasota County Schools wants to remind the community about free and confidential resources available to anyone in need of a counselor 24/7. The Crisis Text Line, launched in 2013, is now available nationwide. Anyone with a phone can text ‘HERE4U’ to 741741 and be immediately connected with a trained counselor. The service is available to all students in Sarasota County through a grant from Barancik Foundation. Signs are displayed in school bathrooms, media centers and hallways to remind students of the free and confidential service.
