Crisis Peer Hotline

A Connection to Hope

When a teen needs to talk, they often turn to a friend for support. That’s why Teen Lifeline trains teens to talk to other teens about their problems. Our peer-to-peer hotline gives them a safe place to connect with someone they can relate to.

Teen Lifeline is a free, confidential, anonymous hotline for teens. Peer Counselors are available by call or text from 3-9pm every day. Thanks to a partnership with Solari, our hotline remains open 24/7.

A Safe Place to Talk

Teen Lifeline has been accredited by the American Association of Suicidology since 2003. All calls and texts are supervised by Master’s-level clinicians to ensure the safety of our callers and volunteers.
