Dial 988 and the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline

Posted on Posted in National Tagged with

Starting July 16, 2022, the three digit dialing code 988 will route callers to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Currently, some areas of the country may already be able to contact the Lifeline by dialing 988. After July 16, everyone in the U.S. will be able to use the three-digit code.

The current National Suicide Prevention Lifeline number – 1-800-273-8255 – will remain available, even after the 988 code launches nationwide.
