Cell Phone Policy and Crisis Intervention Resources 

When To Use Text Messaging or Phone Calls

  1. Emergencies (If you are feeling at risk for suicidal or self-harm, if you are feeling at risk of relapsing, if you feel you are in a dangerous situation, if you feel at risk for hurting someone)
  2. Scheduling
  3. Quick links to articles and psychoeducation materials
  4. Cancellations/Running Late to Appointment 

What NOT to Use It For

  1. Everyday Conversation or Small Talk
  2. Therapeutic Issues/Talking about feelings related to the therapy process. Text messaging can often be misconstrued and the meaning of communication is lost. Please bring up any therapeutic issues in the actual therapy session. We can talk much more clearly and open in the therapy session than through a text message exchange. I will check in regularly with you during sessions to see how the therapy process is going for you.
  3. Non-emergency problems
