988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is the nation’s confidential, mental health crisis Hotline. After advocates for mental health and suicide prevention urged Congress for a shorter, simpler to remember number for those in crisis. 988 was approved to be an easier way to access a network of crisis call centers than the 1-800-273-8255 National Suicide Prevention Lifeline number. The same services will be provided whether you use 988 or 1-800-273-8255. The lifeline provides free and confidential emotional support to people in the United States experiencing a suicidal crisis or emotional distress 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you are concerned about a loved one who requires crisis support, you can also call or text 988.

​

The 988 Lifeline crisis center network is made up of more than 200 centers answering calls, chats, and texts from people in crisis.
