The new number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline recently launched nationwide. Anyone experiencing substance-use issues, suicidal crises, or mental health-related distress can call, text, or chat “988” for help. This lifeline is confidential, free, and available 24/7 from every landline, cellphone, or voice over internet device. The services are offered in Spanish and translations in 150 other languages are provided as well.
If you are experiencing crises before “988” is active, you should continue to use 1-800-273-8255, which will still work even after the transition.
