Crisis Text Line Partnership

VRChat has partnered with Crisis Text line – a nonprofit that provides text-based support for anyone in crisis. The Crisis Text Line is supported by trained volunteer Crisis Counselors who are there to listen without judgment, no matter what you're going through.

Using the Crisis Text Line is easy – just text VRChat to 741741. Volunteers can communicate in either English or Spanish.

"Crisis" can mean more than thinking about ending your own life or harming yourself. Support is available, no matter what emotion you're dealing with, and no matter when you need support. Your mental health is important to us. We want to make it as easy and fast as possible for you to get the help you need, or to help a friend or loved one get help.

❓How Does It Work?

After you text the Crisis Text line, you'll get a couple of quick messages while they connect you with a live, trained volunteer Crisis Counselor. They're able to listen and support you, usually within five minutes, though it might take a little longer during busy times. The volunteer Crisis Counselor will listen, ask questions, and offer empathetic support without judgment or pressure. Your conversation will end when you feel safe and more at ease. Whether that means connecting you with additional support or simply listening. Typically, a conversation lasts between 15 - 45 minutes.

You can save 741741 in your phone for whenever you need it.
