Help me spread the word about the first ever 988 day, bringing awareness to the 988 National Lifeline.
The 988 Lifeline responds 24/7 to calls, chats or texts from anyone who needs support for suicidal, mental health, and/or substance use crisis, and connects those in need with trained crisis counselors.
Something most people don't know about 988 👇
There are many reasons that people connect with the 988 Lifeline. It's okay to call, or text if you are experiencing thoughts of death or
suicide. And you can also reach out if you are feeling overwhelmed with anxiety, have been drinking too much, are struggling with drug use, feeling depressed, feeling overwhelmed with mental and physical illness, loneliness, trauma, relationship issues, economic worries, or other life stressors.
Research has shown reaching out for help and sharing your burden with someone who listens and provides supportive care can often reduce suicidal thoughts and feelings.
If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. Call or text 988 or chat at 988lifeline. org
Spanish and ASL options are available.
