On July 16, 2022, the ten-digit suicide prevention lifeline transitioned to a three-digit number, 9-8-8, where compassionate, accessible care and support is available for anyone experiencing mental health-related distress. Americans can also dial 988 if they are worried about a loved one who may need crisis support. This transition is a historic investment in mental health and a step towards a transformed crisis care system in America.

The 988 network is made up of over 200 centers answering calls, chats, and texts from people in crisis. These centers are looking to bring on new volunteers and paid employees. You will receive training, so if you are a caring person who wants to help those in crisis, apply today.
