Crisis Text Line

Mental Health · Minnesota · Free

Free 24/7 crisis support via text. Text HOME to 741741. Built for older adults experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, loneliness, isolation, or thoughts of suicide. Peer support groups are often free and meet weekly — caregivers and grievers say these matter as much as one-on-one therapy. Anti-anxiety medications like benzodiazepines are on the Beers Criteria for older adults — ask about non-pharmacological options first. No cost to older adults or the people helping them.
