988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline

Updated: Oct 10, 2022

988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (previously known as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline) is now active across the United States. The new, shorter 988 number provides 24/7 free and confidential support. The previous Lifeline phone number (1-800-273-8255) will always remain available to people in distress. The Lifeline is a national network of local crisis centers with trained counselors to provide support to those in emotional distress or suicidal crisis and connect them to resources if needed. Call anytime you or someone you care about needs help.

The Lifeline is committed to improving crisis services and advancing suicide prevention by empowering individuals, advancing professional best practices, and building awareness. Their website has many suicide prevention resources for youth, families, and professionals.
