PREVENTION: 988 Day is Sept. 8
Since the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline launched in 2022, almost 18 million people have reached out to get help for themselves or a loved one. Many people are turning to 988 for support, yet too many Americans still don’t know about this lifesaving resource.
988 is the nationwide number for people to call or text for help in a mental health crisis, during a period of emotional distress, or when having thoughts of suicide. The 988 Lifeline connects people with a humane, dignified and effective response during a crisis. September is Suicide Prevention Month, so it’s more important than ever to spread the word about 988.
