988 is active across the United States. This new, shorter phone number makes it easier for people to remember and access crisis services.
988 provides caring counselors from a local or regional contact center. You can call, text, or chat to start a confidential conversation. Counselors will listen to you, provide support, and share resources that may be helpful.
Using the 988 Lifeline is free and it is available 24/7/365.
