988 Lifeline Now Available: Healing, Hope and Help are Happening Every Day
Did you know that in 2020:
Suicide was the twelfth leading cause of death overall in the United States, claiming the lives of over 45,900 people?*
By providing support and sharing stories of hope and recovery; however, together, we have the power to help others. Knowing this, it likely comes to no surprise why, in 2020, Congress designated a new dialing code – 988 – to be operated through the existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
Yet another important notable fact: as studies have shown, providing 24/7, free and confidential support to people in suicidal crisis or emotional distress can help thousands of people overcome crisis situations every day.
To learn more about 988 and how it can help people quickly connect with support during a crisis, check out the recent press release from National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI):
