Aevidum strives to make sure all people know that someone has their back and someone cares about them. Even when it feels like you’re alone, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is always available and ready to take your call. Aevidum encourages all schools to participate in the “It’s in My Cell” campaign.
The goal of the campaign is simple: get all students to have the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline number and the Crisis Text Line number in their cell phones.
The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, 1-800-273-TALK (8255) is a free, confidential, and anonymous hotline that is available 24/7. Anyone can call about any issue – no problem is too big or too small. All calls are routed to local crisis centers where trained counselors answer the calls. You can call for yourself or for resources or advice about a situation with a friend. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline also has instant messaging available through their website, suicidepreventionlifeline.org.
The Crisis Text Line offers free, 24/7 support for those in crisis. Text 741741 from anywhere in the USA to text with a trained Crisis Counselor.
Cocalico High School in Denver, Pennsylvania created a series of posters to get the Lifeline number out to all students.
Aevidum at Central York High School in York, Pennsylvania adapted the campaign and distributed this list of 10 Numbers Every Teenager Should Have in Their Phone.
