988: A New Lifeline
Call 988 if situation is mental health emergency (harm to self or others) or 911 in any emergency
  • (from July 2022 Reader’s Digest): “In July (2022), the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline launched 988 as the quick-dial code for anyone in need of support for suicide prevention, substance abuse, self-harm, depression, anxiety, and other mental health need. The original number (1-800-273-8255) still works. Text and live chat are available and crisis counselors are trained to take calls in English and Spanish as well as for the LGBTQ population, the deaf, and other populations. "Even family members and friends who are worried about a loved one can call," says Ljiljana Zecevic, PhD, a clinical psychologist at Lennox Hill Hospital in New York City.”
