HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Sue Wray with BrightHouse says those who need help with domestic violence situations in the area can now text to get help.

"You can do it one of two ways," Wray said. "You can download an app. It's really easy to do. You can download it for IPhone or Android phones it's Bright KS and the KS is capitalized. You download the app and one thing that's important that we want people to understand, it does not show up on your phone, as though you've downloaded anything from BrightHouse."

If you get into a situation and don't have the app downloaded, there is another way to get help.

"If you can't download the app, the other way you can do it, you can text LIGHT to 847411 then add a space and you can type in your information," Wray said.

This option is available 24-7.

"It's our crisis line staff and they respond immediately," Wray said. "They will respond through a text. That way, if you cannot use a phone to ask for help, it's another way to get that help to you quicker."

This is in addition to the 24-hour crisis line. It is still available at (620) 663-2522.
