Supporting Mental Health: Our Partnership with Crisis Text Line

At Brew the Blend, our mission extends beyond offering high-quality coffee. We are deeply committed to positively impacting the communities we serve. That’s why we proudly announce our partnership with Crisis Text Line, which is dedicated to providing immediate support to individuals in crisis, particularly marginalized communities.

Why did we choose the Crisis Text Line?

Mental health is vital to overall well-being, but many people still face barriers to accessing the care they need. Factors like stigma, limited resources, and lack of services leave many without the support they deserve. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI)in the U.S., 1 in 5 adults and 1 in 6 youth aged 6-17 experience mental illness each year. Unfortunately, not everyone receives the help they require. Many factors contribute to this gap in care, including stigma, lack of resources, and limited availability of services.

Crisis Text Line offers a lifeline, connecting individuals in need with trained counselors who provide immediate help in a safe, accessible way. Anyone can get support by texting HOME to 741741.

We chose to partner with Crisis Text Line because of its unwavering commitment to helping those in distress. This organization recognizes that everyone deserves access to mental health support and works tirelessly to provide it. Crisis Text Line's services are especially crucial for vulnerable populations who may not have the means or ability to seek help through traditional channels.

About Crisis Text Line

Crisis Text Line is a non-profit organization that offers free, 24/7 support via text messaging. This innovative approach allows individuals to reach out for help comfortably and safely. When someone texts HOME to 741741, they are connected to a trained crisis counselor who can provide immediate assistance.

The counseling process is simple yet effective. Trained counselors listen, validate feelings, and help individuals develop coping strategies. The organization has handled millions of conversations, proving the importance of immediate and accessible mental health resources.

One of Crisis Text Line's unique aspects is its focus on data-driven outcomes. They continually analyze their interactions to improve services and address the community's most pressing needs. This commitment to improvement ensures they can effectively support individuals in crisis, profoundly impacting their lives.

Our Commitment

Brew the Blend will donate 5% of our net profit to Crisis Text Line as part of our dedication to mental health advocacy.
