Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced last week that Ohio’s 988 Su***de and Crisis Lifeline has responded to more than one million calls, text messages, and online chats since launching in July 2022. The achievement highlights the importance of accessible, 24/7 crisis support for Ohioans and recognizes the dedicated professionals who respond to calls for help every day. We are thankful to have this resource right here locally in Warren County, Ohio!
“This milestone is more than a number. Each contact is an opportunity to connect someone with support, help them navigate a challenging moment, and identify resources that can support their well-being,” said Ohio Department of Behavioral Health Director Tia Marcel Moretti. “Every call, text, and chat to 988 represents a step toward hope and healing.”
