The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is formerly known as National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. It will replace 1-800-273-8255 (TALK), which is a very long number and not easy to remember to 988, which is like 911 for emergency response. The idea behind 988 was to make it easy for people who are suffering mental and emotional distress to get assistance as soon as possible.

The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, which is now live nationwide, is being billed as an alternative to calling 911 for mental health emergencies like suicidal thinking or behavior, trauma, substance misuse, and psychosis. When someone contacts the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, they will reach a trained crisis counselor who can discuss what’s happening and, if necessary, connect them to local mental health resources and support.
