On July 16, the U.S. launched a new three-digit phone number—988—an easy-to-remember way for people to connect with help and support during a mental
health, substance use, or suicide crisis. People can call or text 988 or chat online
(988lifeline.org) to be connected to trained counselors.
988 is available across the U.S., but additional crisis services are still developing,
will depend on where you live, and will likely change as states implement the full
continuum of care. We encourage you to contact your local and state mental health authorities to learn the latest updates in your area. Find more information about the 988 Suicide
