MHM 2022 - #988

We probably (hopefully!) all know the current Suicide Prevention Lifeline phone number of 1-800-2473-8255. Starting on July 16th, you will be able to call or text 988 nationwide to get connected with trained counselors who will listen, help understand your problems, provide support, and share resources that may be helpful.

This 3-digit short code is a great step in mental health care. Just like we all know to call 911 in a physical health crisis, we should all know to call 988 for a mental health crisis. No need to program various numbers in your phone, help is just 3 digits away.
