The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is now: 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline

On July 16, the National Suicide and Crisis Hotline will change to 988.

The nationwide number is the new dialing code that will route callers to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. If you or someone you know needs help, dial 988 and they will be connected to trained counselors that are part of the existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline network. These trained counselors will listen, understand how their problems are affecting them, provide support, and connect them to resources if necessary.
