On October 10, a day dedicated to raising awareness about mental health struggles, Humble Bundle announced its partnership with Crisis Text Line. This initiative is set to provide invaluable resources and support to individuals facing mental health challenges through text messaging, making it accessible 24/7.
The Crisis Text Line service is characterized by its commitment to delivering free, confidential support to those in need. The partnership emphasizes the importance of mental health, particularly within the gaming community, where issues of loneliness and mental distress are increasingly prevalent.
Partnering for Mental Health
Through the Humble Choice Subscription, which offers a variety of games each month, a portion of the subscription fees collected during October will be allocated to Crisis Text Line. The funds are crucial in supporting two primary objectives: enhancing mental health initiatives for gamers and maintaining resources for ongoing support efforts.
This collaboration also includes the launch of a special program aimed at fostering mental wellness within the gaming community. By creating a safe environment, Humble Bundle aims to address loneliness and other mental health concerns that gamers might face.
The Safe Space Initiative
A significant facet of this partnership is the introduction of a dedicated line for the Humble community. Gamers can now reach out for support by texting "HUMBLE" to 741741. This service is available at no cost and is designed to offer immediate assistance to anyone seeking help, providing support in both English and Spanish.
In addition to expanding support within the United States, Crisis Text Line is also making strides to enhance its services globally, particularly in Latin America. Donations will help train volunteer crisis counselors, enabling them to assist individuals struggling with mental health in various populations.
Subscription Benefits and Contributions
The Humble Choice subscription starts as low as $11.99 per month. Subscribers enjoy curated access to games along with a 20% discount in the Humble store, plus the flexibility to skip a month or cancel whenever they choose. Subscribers can expect popular games such as Remnant II, Persona 5 Strikers, and others in the October selection.
By participating in this subscription, gamers are not only gaining access to exciting content but also contributing to a pivotal cause that supports mental health resources for themselves and for their peers in the gaming community.
