The Crisis Text Line says it has also seen a rise in messages from young people who identify as Asian, LGBTQ and people who live in low-income areas.
Volunteers at the Crisis Text Line have seen a surge in the number of messages from young people seeking support in recent days, with one in five texters expressing anxiety about the coronavirus outbreak.
In recent days, the number of texters has swelled, with Crisis Help Line volunteers having as many as 4,000 to 6,500 conversations each day. Last week, Womble said, the numbers were higher. However, she said, this week, they are still at"increased volume." Asked whether they had been suffering from anxiety related to COVID-19, around 77 percent of texters said they were anxious about the pandemic.
Womble said Crisis Text Line was also seeing texts from a broader age range, with more people over the age of 25 seeking assistance. Not only are people likely to have anxieties around catching and spreading COVID-19, he said, but many in the U.S. and abroad are also likely to struggle with the impacts of self-isolation and lockdowns that are being enforced around the world.
