Gov. Pritzker said Call 4 Calm isn’t a crisis hotline, but rather a source of support.

Residents who text the line will be contacted by a counselor from a local community mental health center. Residents can be connected with mental health professionals by texting “TALK” or “HABLAR,” for Spanish speakers, to 5-5-2-0-2-0.

Individuals can also use the text line to be connected with services related to unemployment, food and housing.
