988 Crisis Lifeline Goes Live

Starting Saturday, July 16, people in a mental health or behavioral crisis can call or text 988, a national replacement for local suicide hotlines and other helplines.

When people call or text, they will be connected to trained counselors that are part of the existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline network. These trained counselors will listen, understand how their problems are affecting them, provide support, and connect them to resources if necessary.
