VIDEO – SAVE A SOUL, SAVE THE WORLD – 

July 24, 2022 – The 988 system will build on an existing network of over 200 crisis centers nationwide staffed by counselors who answer millions of calls each year – about 2.4 million in 2020. Calls to the old lifeline will still go through even with 988 in place.

If you feel suicidal or you’re worried about someone you know, you can call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988. You can also text the Crisis Text Line by messaging TALK to 741741.
