Mental Health Supports
If you or someone you know is experiencing a crisis, support and assistance is available through Your Life Iowa by Live Chat, by calling (855) 581-8111, or by texting (855) 895-8398. If you or someone you know is thinking about suicide, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (800-273-8255). It’s always open, and you can speak to a trained counselor. If someone is threatening to harm themselves, don’t leave them alone. Call 911 or, if you can do it safely, take them to the nearest emergency room. Try to keep the person calm, and get help from others. If you or someone you know are looking for help/support in your school, Email Ben Layer or your school counselor.
