The 988 voicemail!
In the United States, 988 is the new three-digit dialing code for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. When you call 988, you'll be connected to a trained crisis counselor who can provide confidential and free support 24/7.
Here's what you can expect when you call 988:
- Immediate support: When you call 988, you'll be connected to a trained crisis counselor who will listen to you without judgment.
- Confidentiality: Your conversation with the crisis counselor is confidential and won't be shared with anyone without your permission.
- Free support: The service is free and available 24/7, 365 days a year.
- Crisis intervention: The crisis counselor will work with you to develop a plan to keep you safe and provide support to help you cope with your crisis.
Remember, calling 988 is not a substitute for emergency services. If you're in immediate danger, please call 911 or your local emergency number.
If you're struggling with thoughts of suicide or are concerned about someone who may be, please don't hesitate to call 988.
