988 was designated as the new three-digit dialing code that will route callers to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. This dialing code is available to everyone across the United States.
The line connects people to trained counselors who are part of the existing Lifeline network.
There are three options to connect:
- Call
- Text
- Chat 988 online
These counselors are trained to listen, understand, provide support and connect callers to resources they need.
