Shawn M. Montgomery Community Health Services, Inc.

Did you know that if you text "Home" to 741741 when you are feeling depressed, sad, or going through any kind of emotional crisis, a crisis worker will text you back immediately and continue to text with you? Many people, especially younger ones, prefer text to talking rather than on the phone. It's a free service to anyone-- teens, adults, etc.-- who lives in the US. Depression is real, you are not alone. If you would like to join in raising awareness for mental illness copy and paste (not share). Too many people are struggling and you can be the needed light.
