988 Hotline Increases Access to Mental Health Care
In the fight to increase access to mental health care, the National Suicide Hotline has created the 9-8-8 hotline, establishing an easy-to-use, available 24/7/365 days a year connection to mental health services. Much like you call 9-1-1 in an emergency, people in a mental health crisis can call 9-8-8 - three simple numbers to dial for a connection to mental health professionals.
