Starting this month, 988 will be the new three-digit dialing code connecting people to the existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
Anyone can call or text 988, regardless of where they are located, if they or a loved one needs mental health support: It can be a parent worried about their child who is showing warning signs of serious mental illness, a person who feels emotionally distressed, or someone struggling with substance abuse.
Dialing or texting 988 will connect you with a trained mental health professional who will offer free, compassionate, and confidential support.
