TALBOT GOES PURPLE Interactive Resource Tool

As a minor, we strongly encourage you to talk with a trusted adult, preferably a parent or guardian, about your situation. That adult can help you navigate what to do next. In the meantime, here are a couple resources that may help.

If you’d like to speak with someone the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has a 24-hour, confidential, free hotline:

1-800-662-HELP (4357)

If you need help with tobacco cessation, including vaping (e-cigs), and are at least 13 you can call the Maryland Department of Health’s free service at


1-800-QUITNOW

You also can use a free and anonymous youth texting quit (vape) program from the truth initiative by texting

DITCHVAPE to 88709

If you’d like to learn more about alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, NIDA for Teens is a great resource
