Action Alert!

tmannin6
On July 16th, 2022, the National Suicide Prevention Line transitioned to the 988 Lifeline. This new suicide and crisis lifeline uses a network of 200+ local crisis centers to connect people with anonymous and judgement free support. Individuals can now call, text, or chat with the easy-to-remember number and be connected to a trained crisis counselor.

We are already seeing the 988 Lifeline making a significant impact. In just over two years, the lifeline has helped 10+ million people. However, we still need to increase awareness of and support for the 988 Lifeline. More than 30% of Americans still don’t know about 988.

Let’s tell our representatives that we support this lifesaving resource. Please write to your US representatives expressing your support for increased and sustainable funding for 988 and urge them to help spread awareness of 988 through their platform; supporting public awareness campaigns around 988; and increasing signage of 988 in key touchpoint locations.
