We have a text line here at AVAIL, we have a phone through cell com and have  our posters with our telephone number and text line information on it if anyone needs to talk.

This is a really neat idea. Would anyone be able to send me some resources as to how they obtained a text line for their agency?

Hi everyone,

I'm assembling a directory of dating abuse texting helplines operating in the state for teens to use. If your program has one, or if you know of any, please let me know! Be sure to include how to access the line (i.e., Can I just text a phone number? Or do I text something like "Help" to the number?) and when the line is in use (i.e., If I text it, will I get a reply 24/7? Or 9-5 Mon-Fri?)

So far I know of one at DAIS (brand new!), one at Advocates of Ozaukee, and I have heard unconfirmed rumors of one at the Milwaukee LGBT Community Center. (Is there someone on this list from the LGBT CC that can confirm or deny those rumors?)

I'm including national ones as well; I've got a few but if you want to share one with me feel free!

Thank you,
Erica
