BRAVEline

Immediate support when our children need it most

The BRAVE (Building Respect, Acceptance, and Voice through Education) campaign was created by the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) in collaboration with Vibrant, in order to help children in New York City achieve emotional wellbeing and find support.

The BRAVEline is New York City’s free hotline and chat service that connects children with mental health professionals. These professionals listen to their problems, help them find ways to cope, and share resources they need. Launched in October 2011, The BRAVE (Building Respect, Acceptance, and Voice through Education) campaign was created by the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) in collaboration with MHA-NYC, the New York City Council, and community groups.

If you or someone you know is experiencing bullying in a New York City public school, please contact the BRAVEline.
